Heres the psychedelic mushroom and shes full-on trippy. Pink-red cap up top with yellow craters and dots scattered across it. Underneath, lemon-yellow gills fan down in tight directional stitch lines, and then the stem just kinda dissolves. Goes liquid. Liquid drops into aqua and cyan teardrop shapes that hang below the cap like the mushroom melted halfway through stitching. Tiny clusters of dots float around the frame, almost like molecule diagrams or lil bubbles caught in the drip.
Honestly its a piece that fits one specific aesthetic and goes really hard for the folk who want it. Retro 70s acid-poster vibe, tattoo-flash energy, indie merch shop fuel. The black ink linework holds the whole composition together because without those heavy outlines the gradients would just blend into mush. Pink-to-yellow on the cap is worth the colour change, gives ya that real mushroomy gradient feel without going cartoon.
Sizing covers nine sizes (yep, nine total, the prep file generates a full ladder) running between four-and-a-half wide on the tightest through eight-and-a-half on the widest dimension. Im saying it lands big on a back-piece tee or a hoodie panel, while the bottom hoop works for left-chest placement too. Stitch tallies kick off around 29k on the smallest version. Top hoop logs 59k. Eight thread-changes total. Way back in July a customer asked for the 8-inch back-print version on twenty black tees for her boyfriends band tour and the aqua drips lit up against the dark cotton.
Fabric-wise dark cotton or fleece is whats gonna work hardest. Stitch onto black, charcoal, deep midnight or burgundy and the golden gilled underside plus those cyan drips will sing. Pop it on a heather grey too for softer contrast. Skip pastel or busy patterned bases. The mushrooms own colour palette already does alot of the work, so the surface wants room to breathe. And avoid satin or stretchy synthetic, theres alot of dense black outline here and itll pucker.
Density runs heavy across the cap and along the stem outlines. Grab a thick cut-away backing. Hoop firm. Bring the speed back through the long satin runs that travel across the underside, and youll wanna lay a water-soluble topper on the surface whenever the base is fleece or sweatshirt knit. Drop me a chat note with ya custom palette idea or a hoop request and Ive usually got the rebuilt file ready same arvo.

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.
