The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

Machine chain stitch embroidery worked directly into coarse dark fabric, the subject described entirely by rows of looping thread sitting proudly above the weave, stitch direction following the form. Two or three thread colours only against a deep flat ground. The fabric fills the entire frame edge to edge with no border, edge or background surface showing. Soft raking light so the thread casts its own shadow.
