Worked on this eagle face design last january when I was going through a wildlife phase. Four threads: white head feathers, near-black brown for the feather shading and eye ring, golden yellow for the beak, and amber for the iris. Thats it. The restraint in the colour palette is what makes this one punch above its weight, the contrast does all the heavy lifting.
Five sizes from 3.5 inches wide 7.5-in top size wide. Stitch the smaller ones on a cap front. Use the full 7.5-in chest run on jacket back or large tote. Stitch count ranges from 14,044 at the small end to 36,239 at the large. Density is around 677 which is on the lighter side, so youre not building up too much bulk on the head feather area. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics, cutaway on anything with stretch.
The feather detail on the white head area uses a short directional fill, not applique, so the texture comes through in the thread layers. Skip very dark base fabrics unless you swap the white feather thread for a contrast colour. I had a customer tell me they recieved more compliments on this one on their caps than any other design they'd ever ordered. Text me a quick note if the file doesnt load on your machine and Ill check which format suits your software and swap it.

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.
