The eagle is staring right at ya, dead centre, and thats the whole point. Golden-orange eyes with dark pupils, serious brow ridge, that hooked orange beak pointing straight down. The face itself is actually compact and tight. Then the feathers just explode outward from the crown in every direction. Purple plumes, red quills, powder blue wisps, yellow streaks. A lil bit of warm peach layered in between. Its like nine colours got invited to a party on top of an eagles head and none of em wanted to leave.
Each feather cluster is digitised with loose satin strokes that radiate outward from a centre underlay, so they sit with actual directional flow. The face zone uses denser tatami fill for the beak and brow so those read sharp even on the 3.5 micro. my digitising suite pulled 10 colour changes across the design, which is alot for something at 31k stitches max, but the result genuinely looks like a painting when its hooped out. Stitch count tops at 31k on the biggest, 12k on the smallest.
I sold a bunch of these last october to a stall at a craft fair and this one sold out first. Dont ask me why the eagle beats the other designs every time. Honestly this one suprised me with how often it goes onto kids room art hoops aswell, the colours pop off a white linen backing in a 6-inch frame. Drop me a line if youre after a slightly tighter feather density for runs on thin cotton, Ill point you to the right size.
Back with light tearaway firm woven fabric like canvas or denim. Switch to cutaway on jersey or fleece because the feather layer edges need the support, dont risk tearaway on stretch. Pick light or white backgrounds, the powder blue and yellow threads vanish on dark cloth. Stitch the face section first and the feathers outward from there, it keeps the eye placement locked in. Pair with plain lettering below for a strong banner look.

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.
