Abstract woman face. Tall, narrow, all the detail is in the hair. The face is a clean fashion-illustration profile: minimal black outlines, thick lashes, solid magenta lip. The hair is long ribbon-like strands sweeping down and out in aqua, teal, red, hot pink, lavender and black. Some curling at the ends. A couple breaking away from the main flow entirely. Seven colours, the face stays simple, the hair takes up most of the frame. Thats what makes it interesting.
Density is around 578 stitches per square inch, on the lighter side, so it sits flat on finer fabrics without pulling. Use a lightweight tearaway stabiliser hooped under cotton or canvas. The satin strokes on the hair are narrow and directional, dont skip the stabiliser on stretch fabric or theyll distort and look rough. Skip backgrounds darker than mid-grey, the aqua and lavender tones disappear on dark fabric. Pale backgrounds are whats best here.
Pop it on a tote, stitch it centred on a tee, or try the smaller sizes on gift pouches. Folks email me about this design for birthdays and for salon-branded items regularly. Last month a few people ordered the full five-size set for a beauty school graduation project, and it stitched out well on lightweight cotton. Five sizes from 2.45 x 3.51 inches up to 5.23 x 7.51 inches, 10,500 to 22,700 stitches.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
