Kingfisher Needle Painting Embroidery Pattern: Silk Shading Bird (PDF Pattern)

Embroidery digital booklet. Needle painting or silk shading PDF digital booklet of a Common Kingfisher.
Actual embroidery pattern, not AI generated. This was created by a real person, and you can absolutely stitch it too. I’ll walk you through every step. I’m here if you have any questions, or need help with anything.

Comes with two versions of the PDF. The original verion using DMC, Anchor and DMC, with two colors of YLI heirloom silk. And an all DMC version substituting the YLI for machine sewing thread.

Ideal for anyone who loves to embroider. A great pattern to learn the technique.
These 40 page PDF documents include:
- Preparation guide
- Stitch Diagrams
- Tips and tricks guide
- Materials list including floss brand and color numbers
- Pattern transfer template
- Stitch directions and order of stitching guide
- Detailed stitching instructions with many step by step photos

Please note: Because of the intricacies of this technique, many different colors of threads are called for across 3 different brands, DMC, Anchor, and Cosmo in the original version. Less threads are needed for the DMC version. Just be wary that by using any substitutes, the overall look of the piece will change. Certain brands make specific colors the others don’t. But the DMC version will still be a beautiful piece of art.

“His Majesty”
Common Kingfishers are one of nature’s most brilliantly colored birds. Their beautiful plumage practically sparkles in its brilliance.

Silk shading, needle painting, or thread painting is a surface embroidery technique that utilizes mainly long and short stitch to achieve the look of a painting. Hence the name needle painting. It is a very forgiving technique and can be learned by anyone with a bit of practice and patience. And animals, like birds, are one of the easiest ways to learn this beautiful art form. Besides the stunning work of art that will be created in the end, embroidery is also an extremely calming and relaxing creative process. It’s a fun and wonderful way to pass the time.

**THIS LISTING IS TWO PDF DIGITAL FILES ONLY- YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A PHYSICAL ITEM**.
Pictures look best on a device or computer so details can be enlarged and more accurately replicated. But, can be printed for convenience. If printing, I highly recommend taking the PDF to a professional print shop. So many pictures will take a lot of ink. PDF reader required to view file. I recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader. It’s free to download and use. If you need help installing it, let me know. After your purchase you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the PDF file.

Finished size when mounted for framing is 8x10inches, which will fit an 11 x 14" frame. Can be finished in an 8inch hoop, although I always recommend mounting and lacing it on 8ply mat board.

I’m more than happy to help you through the stitching process. If you have any questions or need help with anything, just let me know. This listing is for the pattern only. No stitch guide is included. There is a tricks and tips section, but basic knowledge of each stitch is needed to complete this piece. But, if you need help or have any questions about how to do any of the stitches, let me know and I’ll send you any information you may need. I’m always available to assist in any way.

I always love to see your piece in process. Feel free to tag me on Instagram @JDevinEmbroidery. And for the kingfisher, #jdevinembroiderykingfisher
