"Beyond the Buoys" Cuffed Beanie · Embroidered

The artwork features bold, arched serif lettering spelling out “BEYOND” across a flat grey expanse, its white fills crossed with fine black hatching, evoking the grain of engraved wood. Each letter climbs in size toward the crisp, central O’s, underscored by a dramatic black drop shadow neatly offset for depth.

Directly below, “THE BUOYS” stretches straight and smaller, keeping the same engraved texture and drop shadow. The design plays with proportion, and the hatching in the white letters creates a tactile look reminiscent of old engraving plates rather than flat print.

Beneath the wording, two identical maroon buoy icons rest against open grey, each with a white slash, a pointed tip, and a simple ball-shaped cap. Trailing lines, like stylised waves, reach to the right from each buoy and are crisply outlined, neatly separating the icons while letting the surrounding space breathe.

Seen in embroidery on a cuffed beanie, the tight control of colour—white, black, and maroon—gives the piece a composed, nautical feel. Suits anyone drawn to maritime themes or looking for a graphic accent in quieter tones.
