A planet thats melting. Not exploding, not cracking, just quietly losing structural integrity and dripping off the bottom like a scoop of ice cream left on a windowsill in july. The main circle is filled with dense swirling bands in rust, burnt orange, amber and oatmeal, with a dark vortex eye sitting off-center in the lower section. Around that eye the bands tighten and swirl inward, like the planet's slowly being eaten from within. Around the outer rim theres a deep burgundy shadow that rounds out the sphere shape.
The drips along the bottom are the detail that makes it work. Each ones a tapered satin column pulling down to a fine point, some longer and some shorter, giving a real organic drip feel rather than something mechanical. Coral red bleeding into orange as you move up the drip into the body. Dense tatami stitching covers the entire planet fill, 9 sizes running from 3.5 up to 7.5 inches wide, stitch count hitting 49k on the largest so its a dense piece and your stabiliser needs to match.
I designed it with sci-fi art print culture in mind, the kind of image that goes on a black tee and gets photographed at a convention. One customer who runs a small sci-fi art studio ordered it last october for a run of hand-embroidered crew neck sweaters for his online shop. He messaged me after the first batch saying his customers kept asking if the drips were actually hand-done. Thats the whole point, isnt it.
Run it on black or charcoal cotton or fleece and the orange and amber really burn. Skip pale fabrics, the cream sections in the fill disappear on white and the whole thing looks washed out. Try it on a dark denim jacket, a black canvas tote, a charcoal crewneck. The 5.92-inch height on the largest size fills a good chest panel or tote front nicely.
Cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable on the bigger sizes, dont skimp there. Slow your machine down on the tatami fill sections and hoop tight, especially on the drip columns because those tapered tips need precise placement. If the tips look jagged at high speed just drop your SPM and retry. Message me if you hit any trouble and I'll look at the file.

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.
