Heres the funny purple bird and shes got proper sleepy diva energy. Tall narrow body, lavender feathers shaded with dusty plum, two big sleepy eyelids drooping over half-closed eyes. The orange beak is way too long for the face on purpose, sticks out sideways like its always pointing at something. A wild tuft of feathers spikes straight off the top of her head like bedhead.
Directional stitching runs through the feathers so the chest catches light differently from the wing tail. Lavender on top, plum shadow underneath the wing, soft white highlights brushing across the chest. Orange satin column on the beak, same orange picked up again on the two skinny legs and the round base she stands on. 14 colour changes total which lets the artist sneak in proper depth, not flat patches.
I made this one for the funny cartoon character crowd. Last halloween a customer ordered the 5x7 size for her daughters pajama set and the kid wouldnt take em off for a week, true story. Its got that animated movie feel without licensing trouble, kinda like the cousin no one talks about.
Best fabric is plain cotton in cream, oatmeal, soft mint or pale grey, the lavender body needs that calm background to sing. Skip dark navy or black on smaller hoops, the plum shadows lose definition aswell. Avoid heavy patterned cloth, theres alot going on already with the feather tufts and the beak.
Heaviest stitch zones live across the lavender torso plus the droopy eyelid satin so Use midweight cutaway behind on jersey or fleece. Tearaway works fine on woven cotton totes. 9 sizes from 2.47 inch wide up to 5.28 inch on the bigger hoop. Stitch range runs 21k on the small one to 49k on the largest. Drop a chat note if a thread swap goes weird mid-run, no charge to look at it.

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.
