Reading the motif

Movement in a still image

Bird motifs offer a way to explore posture, rhythm and the contrast between delicate detail and a strong silhouette. Follow the direction of the form and imagine how it would sit within a larger composition, with enough space around it to keep that sense of movement.

For everyone who chases the water. This embroidered harlequin duck iron on patch is stitched in slate blue, chestnut, white and grey thread on a heavy twill base, with clean finished borders that will not fray. Apply it in under a minute. Preheat a household iron, place the patch adhesive-side down, cover with a thin cloth, and press firmly for 30 seconds. Let it cool, then peel back the cloth. For gear that gets soaked and scrubbed, stitch around the edge for a permanent hold. It bonds to cotton, denim, canvas and polyester - so it works on fishing vests, hunting jackets, gear bags, backpacks, caps and tote bags. A simple, affordable gift for waterfowlers, anglers, birders and anyone who would rather be outside.
