Ya get the full drama with this one. The tree frog is mid-leap, or at least thats what it looks like, body facing ya straight on with both front legs stretched wide and those big sticky toe pads spread flat. The eyes are this brilliant burnt orange-red, big round saucers that take up a lotta the face. Around the lower body and hands theres a splash of water radiating out, so the whole design feels like the frog just landed on the surface and sent it flying everywhere.
Fourteen colours in this one, 13 colour changes through the stitch run. Bright greens on the back, darker mossy green on the leg sections, touches of dark navy in the shadow areas, orange on the eye rings, and a cool grey-blue palette in the water splash that makes the whole thing look abit luminous. The black outlines are bold enough to hold each colour zone clean, the software I use digitised the fills with proper underlay so the colours dont bleed at the edges. seriously dense at 82k stitches on the 7.5-inch top size, which gives the colour depth and that semi-glossy quality when you hoop quality thread.
One customer from a rainforest nonprofit in Brazil ordered a batch of these last february on light sage canvas totes for their fundraising table. She told me the volunteers kept asking where to buy more. Ive had a steady trickle of tropical biology tutors and science camp folks since then, which makes sense.
Stitch on white or cream cotton for cleanest colour pop. The blue-grey water splash reads really nicely on pale linen aswell. Avoid dark backgrounds here because the darker navy tones in the design blend and you lose the depth. Use tearaway behind firm woven cotton, swap to cutaway if youre running this on jersey or a fleece zip-up. Hoop the fabric firm and run a slower stitch speed through the dense colour blocks.
Three colours in the palette run 2,000-plus stitches each so plan for a coffee break mid-run on the biggest size. Ping me if you get colour bleed at any of the 14 boundary zones and ill check the stitch density settings and send you a revised file.

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.
