One Hundred Horses - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design captures a fragment of the sprawling, dynamic 1723–25 scroll depicting a vast herd of horses in various states of play, rest, and movement.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is defined by the fluid, calligraphic lines used to delineate equine musculature and posture. Soft washes of ink create depth, layering the horses to suggest a crowded, bustling landscape that stretches beyond the frame. The palette relies on traditional ink-wash tones—charcoal, sepia, and cream—that emphasize the rhythmic repetition of hooves and manes. No single animal is static; the layout relies on overlapping silhouettes to create a sense of frantic, crowded energy that draws the eye across the entire surface.

Meaning & Symbolism

The One Hundred Horses theme is a classic motif in Chinese painting, symbolizing prosperity, power, and the untamed vitality of the natural world. By documenting the animals in diverse poses—some grazing, some rearing, and others galloping—the artist highlights the harmony between wild spirit and disciplined movement. This specific version, datable to the early eighteenth century, reflects a sophisticated mastery of ink-wash techniques intended to convey the sheer scale of the herd as a metaphor for auspicious abundance.

On the Sticker

Because this design is rendered as a kiss-cut sticker, the complex, interlocking shapes of the horses are isolated from their background. The precision cut follows the irregular, silhouette-heavy contours of the animals, allowing the detailed ink work to stand out against any flat surface. This format turns the historical scroll into a modular icon, perfect for layering onto notebooks or journals where the intricate brushwork of the original composition can be viewed up close.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
