The violin stands upright, scroll at the top, tailpiece at the bottom, and wrapped in flowers and stems that grow out from and around the body. Some blooms sit at the waist of the instrument, some trail up past the scroll. The strings are drawn in, fine and precise. Its the combination of something structural and mechanical with the organic looseness of botanical illustration that makes this one feel considered rather than generic.
Single colour throughout, which is a deliberate choice and honestly makes it more versatile than you'd expect. Every line is a satin column run, thin and consistent, with proper underlay so the detail stays raised on the fabric rather than sinking flat. Density runs 668 and theres alot of fine work, and the 7.5-inch largest size reaches 31,497 stitches, so its a moderate-length run with alot of fine detail packed in. The stems and string lines are the narrowest elements and need your tension dialled in before you commit to a full stitch-out.
I been getting orders from music teachers and violin students, and also from people who just love the botanical art aesthetic without necessarily playing an instrument. One customer last autumn stitched it in dark forest green on cream linen and framed it. She sent a photo and it honestly looked like something from a vintage natural history print. Text me if you want guidance on thread colour substitutions and Ill point you in the right direction.
Works well on white, cream, or natural linen. Also looks nice on pale sage, blush, or soft grey fabric. Single-colour designs like this one give you full colour flexibility, so try ivory thread on teal fabric, or burgundy on cream for a warmer autumn feel. Skip any fabric with surface texture or pile, the fine line runs need a smooth woven base to track cleanly.
Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven cotton or linen tote bags and a medium cutaway on stretch fabric like jersey music bags or tees. Hoop the fabric snug and do a test stitch on scrap first because the string and stem lines are narrow enough that even slight tension drift will show up in the final piece.

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.
