This one always gets a reaction. The bee sits right in the middle of a loose paint-splash background, the kind that looks like someone flicked yellow and black ink at the fabric and the bee just landed in it. Its not a tidy design and thats exactly the point. The contrast between the precise little bee and the splashy background behind it gives it real character. I love how it looks on dark denim especially.
Comes in multiple sizes to fit different hoop setups. Stitch count sits in a moderate range given the paint-splash fill work, so expect a bit of density in the background area. I'd go with a cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics and tearaway on woven canvas. Make sure your hoop tension is firm or the splash fill can wander slightly at the edges.
Works great on the left chest of a tee, but honestly the tote bag placement is where it really pops. A customer last spring put it on a black canvas tote and the yellow against the dark fabric was suprising how bold it came out. If you want a tonal version, swap the yellow thread to a honey amber and it reads a lot softer.
Holler me a chat note if the file isnt stitching out right and Ill sort it out fast.

- Kids backpack patchKids love the chunky bee shape, and the design is compact enough for a standard backpack patch size.

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.
