Wooden paint palette with daubs of every colour and a brush resting across it, each paint blob on the palette edge its own distinct thread colour and not just a generic dot. The palette body sits in warm oak-brown tones, the thumb hole cut clean through the centre, and the paint blobs ring the outer edge in a full colour run from red through orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and back around. Every blob has a tiny highlight stitch at the corner to make it look wet. Thats what makes it read as paint and not just coloured circles.
Twenty-seven colours is the headline stat here. Its one of the more technically demanding designs I do because 27 colour changes means 27 thread cuts and reattachments, and the digitising sequence has to be planned so the palette background lays down before any of the colour blobs go on top. Density is 748 and the stitch count goes from 11,048 at the 3.51-inch up to 31,080 at the full 7.51-inch. The paintbrush running across the wooden board uses directional satin columns on the shaft and a fan-stitch approach on the bristle end to give it texture.
Honestly this design is one where I get the most messages from art teachers and craft tutors. Back in february one customer bought the 5-inch for a school art room apron project, she had 12 student aprons made with it and said it was the hit of the whole craft fair. Thats the thing about a palette design, artists and crafters just connect with it immediately because they live with the real object every day.
Works on any colour fabric because 27 colours means the design is its own world. That said, black or deep navy makes the bright blobs look most vivid. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser because 27 colour changes with dense satin sections will pull even a well-hooped piece if you underestimate the stabiliser. Hoop firm, use topping on any fabric with a pile, and ease off the machine speed for the bristle section.
9 sizes ranging across 3.51 to 7.51 inch, all 8 machine formats in the download. If the file has any hiccups at your end message me and Ill look at it.

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.
