Its a bear paw raised up like its waving or about to swipe, depending on your mood. Golden fur all over it with long stray strands hanging down at the wrist end, the ones that tell you this animal has been out in the woods alot. Pink oval pads on the toes, cream central pad, silver-grey claw tips curving up at the top. Bold outlines hold it all together.
Six colours is actually lean for a piece with this much texture. Most of the heavy lifting is in the directional fur stitching, golden top coats over amber underlay, which gives the paw depth without needing extra colour threads. The pads are smooth satin fills. Claws are tight satin columns. At 45k stitches for the biggest size the density is solid but manageable on a stable ground. The stray fur strands at the wrist use loose running stitches that wiggle a bit which is a kinda nice realistic touch, makes it feel less digital.
I get messages from camping and outdoor gear folks, national park visitors, wildlife artists who want it on their supply bags. Also alot of hunters and wilderness guides using it on vest patches and gear pouches. One customer messaged last october saying she was making matching tote bags for a bear watching tour group she leads in canada. She ordered 20 downloads and said they couldnt keep up with demand.
Best on dark fabrics. Black fleece or charcoal canvas makes those golden fills glow. Back it with poly-mesh under, the density on the central pad and claw tips needs real support or the satin lifts. Hoop tight, especially for bigger sizes. If youre stitching on lighter fabric like tan or oatmeal cotton it reads more woodland-cute than wilderness-raw. Both work depending on what youre making. Avoid jersey here aswell.

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.
