A skeleton hand, knuckle bones and finger joints all visible in black, holding a pink awareness ribbon up between the fingers. The ribbon sits right in the V between the raised index finger and thumb, the loop of the ribbon framing the top and the two tails crossing below. Its horizontal in orientation, so the hand spans wider than tall, which makes it sit nicely on a hat brim or across a shirt chest. The black and pink two-colour contrast is sharp and graphic, nothing soft about it.
2 colours, 5 sizes running from 3.5 inches wide up to 7.5 inches wide, and the height stays pretty compact at under 4 inches even at max size. The 7.5 inch version is 18,787 stitches total. The bone sections have a satin fill with a higher density to get that solid opaque black, and the ribbon uses a slightly softer satin so theres a visual difference in texture between the two elements. Slap a cutaway stabiliser down for anything stretchy. Tearaway holds fine on firm cotton or canvas.
In october I suprised myself with how many of these I shifted. One customer told me she had it stitched on a black hoodie for her sister who was going through treatment and wanted something that didnt look like a typical pink awareness piece. Thats the thing with this design, it works for people who want to show support without the soft-floral route. Pair with black fabric and the skeleton pops as a tonal design, or go white fabric for maximum contrast.
Use the 4 inch size on hats, beanies or jacket lapels. The 7.5 inch works on a shirt front, tote bag or the back of a zip-up. Stitch it on black, white or charcoal. Text me if youre unsure which size fits your hoop setup and Ill help you choose. One color. Done.

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.
