Cooked up this bat crystal ball one october when I was deep in fortune teller costume requests. The base is a soft lavender purple orb with a darker violet swirl shading through the middle, and a black bat silhouette flies dead centre with its wings stretched wide across the ball. White four pointed sparkle stars dot the inside around the bat, real cosmic fortune teller vibes.
The orb itself sits on an ornate grey scrolled metal base with little curlicue feet on either side, dove grey thread with darker pewter shading does that vintage candelabra look. Six thread colours, the bulk of the work goes into the lavender satin fill and that black wing shape, the rest are accent stitches. Honestly its a really clean readable design at any size, thats one thing I always check before puttin a halloween piece up for sale.
Stitches lovely on cotton, linen, twill, and felt. Cream, oatmeal, soft sage, and black grounds all carry the lavender well. I sewed the medium size on a black hoodie for one customer last halloween and that lavender purple basically glowed in the dark, kinda like an actual crystal ball lit from inside. Bunch of folks at her costume party asked where she got it, shes ordered the design again twice since then.
Skip busy patterned fabrics, the sparkle stars want a clean field to read. Five sizes from 2.99 inches wide up to 6.39 wide and 7.5 tall. Smallest is around 18k stitches and the largest hits 50k. Drop a medium cutaway under for the dense satin fill on the lavender orb, that section pulls the hoop alot.

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.
