Worked on this one for a while to get the composition right. A deer in a forest scene with flying birds above, every element in solid black inside a bold crescent arc that runs along the bottom-left like a window cut into the fabric. On the left inside the arc, a wall of pine trees fills the space solid black. Centre of the scene, an antlered buck stands still, looking out. Cattail reeds cluster on the right. And four birds break free from the top of the arc into open white space, which gives the piece room to breathe.
Its all one colour, all solid black silhouette, no shading or detail fill. The pine trees are characterised by classic triangular shapes layered up and up. The buck has a proper full antler rack spread wide, body proportions realistic and not cartoonish. Each reed has a distinct cylindrical tip. The birds are in varied wing positions so they read as actual flight not a stamp repeat. Density runs 307 per square inch, comfortable for medium-weight fabric.
I use this one a lot for outdoorsy and hunting-themed gifts. A customer sent me a photo last spring of it stitched on an olive canvas cap and it looked proper professional, like something from an outdoor brand store. 5 sizes from 2.91 by 3.51 inches up to 6.23 by 7.51. The large size runs around 14k stitches so its not too long on the machine.
Pick a mid or light background so the black arc reads cleanly. Olive green, tan, cream, grey canvas all work well. Avoid anything too dark. Pair cutaway under heavier canvas or denim and float a mesh tearaway under the border arc if youre hooping something smaller. Keep the hoop tension firm on the arc outline because any looseness there and the curve will stitch a bit wonky.

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.
