The fairy and the butterfly wings are one thing here, thats the whole point of the design. Her body comes up through the centre where the wings meet, one arm lifted, hair flowing down into the lower tails. The wings are swallowtail shaped with those pointed lower extensions and the row of circle eye spots along the bottom edge.
Technically its single colour but theres alot going on. The outer wing borders are densely filled with satin sections so they come out almost black and solid. The inner panels use just the lacy veining so the fabric shows through and gives the whole thing that open whimsical feel. I digitised the fairy figure lighter than the wings on purpose so she doesnt disappear into the background. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the density transitions well here.
6 sizes from 3.52 inches wide up to 8.81 inches, stitches go from around 10,369 at the smallest to 29,286 at the largest. The bigger sizes need a cutaway stabiliser, the wing fill density is high enough that a tearaway wont hold cleanly. Hoop it snug or those fine inner lines shift. One customer ordered the 7 inch version on a black denim jacket back and said it looked like it was printed on, which was pretty nice to hear.
Works well on denim, canvas, thick cotton twill, felt and stable knits with cutaway backing. Skip lightweight fabrics for the larger sizes, the fill areas are heavy. Pop the needle down to a 75/11 for the smaller sizes to keep the line-art detail crisp.

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.
