Three round lil birds on a branch, and every one of em has a personality. The left bird is all teal and forest green with a fancy crest that curls forward like its trying to make a point. Middle one is a warm golden-orange with a scruffier tuft, the kind of bird that always looks slightly windswept. Right bird leans into cobalt blue and violet, quite smug looking if Im honest. All three have that same expression where the eyes are narrowed and the beak is set, like theyre judging something. Its funny without trying to be.
The feather work is proper directional stitching, not flat colour blocks. Each bird has 4 or 5 layered tones running along the body contours so the plumage actually looks fluffy and dimensional. And thats 12 colours total across the design, with 12 colour changes. The smallest size runs 16,866 stitches and it builds to 40,702 on the 7.49-inch. So this is genuinely dense and complex digitising work from digitising tools, and it shows on the fabric.
I sell alot of these to nature-themed home decor makers and garden-enthusiast gift shops. Somebody ordered the large size on a oat pillow cover last september for a garden room makeover and the colour payoff was incredible, she sent photos. Also sells actually well to the kawaii crowd for custom tote bags and pouch sets. The branch sits horizontal so the composition works perfectly wide on a cushion or bag front without looking squeezed.
Use a firm mesh cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy and a mid-weight tearaway on stable woven fabrics. Hoop snug, the 12 colour changes need good registration. Pop the 7.5-inch on cream linen for the richest result. Skip black or navy for this one because those deep teal and blue birds blend into dark backgrounds and you lose alot of the colour depth.

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.
