The fox is looking right at you. Head tilted just slightly, ears up, the white cheek fur fanning out wide on both sides of the muzzle. Its not a cartoon fox, its closer to a naturalist's field sketch where the artist actually looked at the animal and tried to get the fur direction right. The chestnut body colour shifts darker around the forehead and eye sockets, lighter on the broad cheeks, and the inner ear carries that warm orange against a pale background that you get on real foxes.
Around the face six curved stems grow up from below, each one carrying a poppy-style bloom at the top. The flowers have 4 petals each in a dusty blush-pink, the kind of soft colour that feels almost hand-watercoloured. Leaves sit at intervals along the stems, small and oval. The whole border frames the portrait without crowding it so the subject stays front and centre and the florals just set the mood. One customer last month used the medium 5-inch hoop on a sage green tote and said the dusty pink poppies against the green background looked like something from a botanical print shop.
Eight colours with 7 stops, Wilcom digitised this well, the density on the fox face is high enough to carry the fur detail but the flowers are lighter so the whole piece isnt heavy to run. Add cutaway stabiliser on wovens and knits both. Best results on natural linen, cotton canvas or soft twill. Skip polyester blends, the satin fills on the fur sections dont sit flat on slippery weaves. Hoop tight. Dm me if you want a thread substitution list and Ill pull together options for you.

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.
