Its a side portrait, right profile, eyes closed. The face is done in clean single lines, just the jaw and nose and that closed-eye look, like shes totally zoned in on whatever shes hearing. And then the hair is where it gets interesting. Long wavy sections fan out behind and below, and woven right through the whole thing are these detailed line-drawn flowers. A big hibiscus type bloom sits near the crown, two full roses lower down, little sprigs and buds scattered through the lengths. Everything drawn in the same tight outline style so it all reads as one piece.
The headphones sit right across the top, the band running clean over the hair, one circular cup framing the back half of the silhouette. And then near the collarbone theres a small butterfly, wings spread, like it just landed there. So the overall composition is this narrow vertical that starts with headphones at the top and ends with the butterfly near the bottom, with all that hair and flower detail filling the middle.
Single black thread, zero colour changes. But the line work is dense enough that you get real tonal variation just from the hatched fills and the open negative space. Stitch count runs 9k on the small size, just under 15k on the largest, so its a manageable stitch-out even on basic home machines. I hear from buyers about this style quite a bit. Last christmas I had people ordering it specifically for gift runs on tote bags and pouches, so I know it works well in that context.
Works best on plain light fabric, white or cream or soft grey. Pale linen is also a great call. Skip anything with texture or a visible weave pattern because the fine linework in the hair sections needs a flat surface to read clean. Back the fabric with a woven cutaway stabiliser and keep your hooping tight, especially around the hair detail where the stitch direction changes frequently. Ping me if anything looks off after a test run and Ill get it sorted fast.

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.
