Sketched this one out with a double-exposure concept in mind. The elk head is the outer shape, facing left with a full rack of antlers spreading wide, and inside the body theres an entire mountain forest scene going on. Pine trees, a ridge line, 2 birds flying above. The antler outlines are done in satin columns and the body fill uses directional tatami stitching so it kinda catches light at different angles. Its all single colour which sounds simple but the inner scene detail demands a clean hoop and good stabiliser tension.
5 sizes from 3 inches wide by 3.5 tall all the way up to 6.4 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall. Stitch counts go 13805 at the small end up to 33086 for the large hoop. Density is 691 so this isnt a light run. Im gonna be honest, cutaway stabiliser is the right call here because the tatami fill is dense and a tear-away backing will leave too much flex in the finished piece. One customer sent me a message after they stitched the 6-inch size on a hunting jacket back panel and said the pine tree scene inside read clearly even from a few feet away. Thats the reward you get when you go big.
Send it to your outdoor enthusiast, hunter, or cabin-decor fan. Use the 3-inch size on a cap front, the 5-inch on a fleece hoodie chest, or push the full 7.5-inch for a jacket back. Cotton canvas tote bags work well aswell, especially in a deep navy thread on natural canvas. The underlay on the antler satin keeps everything raised and defined. Hoop firm, keep your tension even, and this one turns out sharp every single time.

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.
