Big round black cauldron, belly basically spherical, sitting solid and low. The top is open and the bubbling potion inside is that deep amber-gold colour, kinda like a thick stew about to boil over. Three colour bubbles float up above the rim, and the whole cauldron body has small white highlight dots scattered across the black to give it dimension without going overboard. Its honestly one of those designs where the shape alone carries it.
I digitised this one in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with heavy satin fill on the cauldron body, density sitting at 824 which means its a dense stitch-out. Use a cutaway stabiliser without question on this one, the filled areas on the 5.09 inch size get up to 23,101 stitches. Three colour changes total: black for the body, amber gold for the potion surface and the bobbin tension needs to be spot-on or the gold areas can look uneven. A medium-weight cotton or canvas is gonna give you the best result.
Reach out if the colour changes feel confusing and Ill walk you through em. A customer wrote me this month saying she used the 2.32 inch version as a pocket hit on a child's halloween costume and it came out perfect on the black cotton fabric. I love hearing about those smaller applications, the design actually holds up really well at that size.
Stitch it on charcoal, navy, or cream cotton for the best contrast. Add it to a sweatshirt front, a canvas bag, or a halloween-themed apron and the colours pop immediately. Skip shiny polyester fabrics with high-density designs like this one.

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.
