This is a rabbit head portrait where the ears are basically their own canvas. The left ear is split into teal blue and golden yellow panels, the right ear matches the same split, and small white feather-like stripes run through the centre of each. The rabbit face itself uses a dark forest-green fill for most of the head, but the cheek on one side is a warm coral-red, which gives it this two-tone glow. One bright blue eye sits in the middle of all that colour. Its really busy in the best possible way.
Along the jaw and neck theres a collar of folk-art flowers. Red 5-petal daisies, golden circular blooms, little teal leaves. Its the kind of botanical border youd see on Mexican Otomi embroidery or Eastern European folk textiles. 9 sizes from 3.5 to 7 in range, stitch count from 23,570 on the smallest up to 53,611 on the full 7.5. Thats alot of colour changes so budget your thread accordingly, its not a 3-colour job.
My niece does rabbit shows and she asked me last winter if I had a bunny design that wasnt a cartoon. She wanted something that looked like folk art. So I drew this one. She had it put on a zip-up hoodie for competition day and, honestly, people kept stopping her to ask where she got it. Since then I keep getting orders from rabbit breeders and, kinda suprisingly, a lot of Otomi embroidery people who layer this into mixed textile projects.
Best results on a dark background. Black cotton, deep navy twill, dark teal jersey. The jewel tones really pop off anything dark. Avoid white or cream because the dark body fill dominates and you lose the shape. Cut a 5-in across one dark velvet pouch for something a little bit luxe, or stitch the medium on a charcoal book tote for a rabbit show gift.
Dense design so go with a firm cutaway stabiliser. On jersey especially dont skimp. Use a topping layer on dark terry or velvet to keep the satin columns clean. The flower border around the collar is the fiddliest part, dont rush those colour swaps.

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.
