About this design

What the design shows

A large jellyfish drops down the upper back with a teal dome patterned in rounded scalloped panels. Coral bands follow the lower edge of the bell and repeat through the long ruffled ribbons below it. Fine dark teal cords curl around the center, framing wider alternating teal and coral strips that undulate down to uneven tips. One five-petal pink blossom floats on each side of the jellyfish: both have dark central stamens and sit level with the middle tentacles. The paired flowers widen the composition while the long center ribbons maintain its downward direction. Black contour lines keep the soft coral and deep teal fills separate, with pale gaps between the tentacles. In the preview it begins below the neck at the center upper back and reaches toward mid-back, spanning almost two palm lengths including the lowest strands.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview sets this vertically down the center of the upper back, with the bell just below the neck and the blossoms extending over each shoulder-blade area. Its near two-palm length gives the paired flowers and narrow tentacles room to stay separate. It also fits a broad thigh, outer calf, full upper arm, or side rib. On a smaller surface, keep the bell and one large central ribbon, then simplify the flower centers and extra cords. The symmetrical blossoms need enough width to avoid touching the jellyfish.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

This is a large, medium-heavy color anchor because its teal dome and coral ribbons cover a long central column. It is strongest as the main piece of a back or thigh group, with lighter motifs filling the side spaces created by the flowers. Small stars, a shell, a fine-line moon, or two drifting leaves can sit beyond the blossom edges. Preserve a thumb-width of skin around the lowest ribbons and both flowers. Avoid placing another saturated teal design immediately beside the bell.
