Heres my funny donkey portrait and honestly its one of the most reordered farm designs i sell. Front facing head, fan ears stuck up wide, the scruffy mohawk forelock sitting between the ears, deadpan dark eyes, and that pulled back top lip making him look like he just told a joke. Yeah, hes laughing at ya.
Built in 7 colours. Warm tan brown carries the face and ears, charcoal grey shadow tones run through the neck and lower jaw, white sits in the muzzle and throat, theres soft sage green in the tail tuft and lower neck, and thin black accents hold the eye and outline. The watercoloured loose paint edges round the lower neck give it abit of that hand drawn pub print feel.
People keep buying it for funny mum and gift shop merch alot. One customer last december ordered 30 charcoal hoodies for a small holders christmas market, sold them all in a single saturday. Another regular runs a donkey rescue and sticks the design on every fundraiser tote, says people open their wallet faster when they see the face.
9 sizes from 3.18 inch up to 6.81 wide, stitch count 33,633 to 90,356. Density runs high cuz the realistic fur direction stacks alot of layers, so id pick a stiff base. Stick to medium and up if you want the deadpan eyes and the muzzle pull to land. Smallest size loses the lip detail abit.
Stitch on cream cotton, oatmeal linen, sage cotton tee, denim, brushed fleece, canvas tote. Skip dark navy or black, the sage green and tan blend muddy. Hoop with a no show cutaway under stretch knit, tearaway under canvas tote and denim. Use a wash away topping over fleece, the fine directional stitches need the smooth bed underneath.

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.
