Knocked out this skeleton horse design heading into last halloween season and it got way more traction than I expected. The horse is in full side profile, the outer silhouette filled solid black, and then the full skeleton anatomy shows through inside it in white. Ribs, spine, leg bones, skull. Its all visible within the body shape.
Two colours total and the contrast is really strong. Black outer silhouette, white bones inside. Because the horse form stays intact as a recognisable shape you dont lose the elegance of it, it just looks like you can see through the horse into its skeleton. The highest stitch count is 26,691 at the full 7.5 inch width, smallest is 8,912 at 3.5 inches. High density stitching throughout.
Five sizes, widths from 3.5 through 7 in, heights from 2.74 up to 5.87 inches. One customer told me they stitched the large on the back of a black denim jacket for a halloween costume and it looked suprised everyone at how professional it turned out. Landscape format.
Stitch on cotton twill, denim, canvas or stable woven fleece. Use cutaway stabiliser for stretchy fabrics, tearaway is fine for wovens. Pair on black or very dark fabric so the white bones pop properly.

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.
