5 colours on linen and it stitches out looking like something from a boutique craft shop. This isnt a cartoon owl. Its an owl face assembled from flowers, feathers and leaves as if somebody grew one in a garden. The forehead carries a cluster of soft pink blooms sitting where the crown feathers would be. Below that the face fans out in concentric rings of cream and sage fill, each ring using a slightly different stitch angle so the layers read as actual depth. Two golden amber eyes stare straight out with dark pupils and a subtle light catch highlight. The beak is a compact dark triangle between them.
Shooting up from the top are long dark pointed ear-tufts, more like wild feathers than horns, and hanging below the face are layered pointed green leaves that form the lower body. The symmetry is what gives it that mandala energy without it actually being a mandala. Five colours that shouldnt work together this well: the cream fills, the sage green, the pale pink blooms, the gold irises and the near-black outlines. I get a lot of people ordering this one for boho home decor, its been one of my steadier sellers since I added it.
Nine sizes from 3.5 by 3.36 inches to 7.5 by 7.18 inches. Stitch count runs 20k to 45k with density at 842, so budget proper time at the machine. Use medium to heavy cutaway on any fabric with stretch. On woven linen or cotton canvas the concentric ring detail comes through cleanly. Skip fleece or brushed fabric as the fine line work in the face disappears into the nap. Hoop firm and float a topping layer on anything with texture.
White, ivory, cream and pale sage all work as backgrounds. So does warm grey. A slightly textured linen background actually adds something because it echoes the feather fill texture. Pale blush pink is also nice if youre going for a softer boho bedroom vibe. Send me a message last winter one of my regulars found the two lighter fill colours blending together, it turned out to be a tension issue, and ill walk you through the fix if the same thing happens.

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.
