Pulled this design together for the crowd that wants something aggressive on a black tank or leather patch without going full skull or graphic. Its two eyes, staring straight at you, with big arching grey lashes and amber irises. But the whole thing is engulfed in flames, orange and crimson and yellow, spreading left and right of the face like a banner. The flames have that layered satin look where you can see the directional fills shifting from dark red at the edges into yellow at the hot centre.
7 colours total: orange base flame, red secondary flame, yellow core, two grey tones for the eyebrows and lashes, white highlight, black outline and pupil. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, Tajima format. 5 sizes from 2.41 inch wide all the way to 5.17 inch, heights 3.51 to 7.51 inch. Stitch count runs 10,883 to 23,475 depending on size. Density sits at 605 which gives the flames that solid coverage you want without the stiffness you get from overworked satin. 30 trims, 6 colour changes so its a busy run but worth it. Use cutaway stabiliser, this one has alot of directional satin that will pull on anything less stable.
A customer wanted this at 5 inches across a black leather jacket back last november and Im glad she went that direction because the amber in the iris hit the light differently on leather than on cotton, genuinely striking. Stitch on a felt patch first if youre working with real leather, then hand-sew the patch on so you avoid the hoop marks. Skip the water-soluble topping on smooth woven fabrics, it adds zero benefit there and just creates extra cleanup. Pop the design centred on a wide horizontal placement for the best flame spread effect.

- Gym bag or duffel front panelCentre the 5-inch on a gym duffel front pocket, the wide horizontal format suits the landscape orientation of most bag fronts.
- Biker or racing team vest patchThe bold eye-and-flame combo reads as a team symbol, size up to 5-inch for vest back patches that are visible from a distance.

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.
