Two big natural afro puffs sitting on top like a crown, all tight coiled curls in solid black. Then those oversized round glasses with the thick frames, the eyes behind em done in blue-grey with long lashes, and below that a full red lip. Gold hoop earrings on each side. Thats basically the whole design and honestly it doesnt need anything else.
Five colors and 9 sizes. Stitch it on a chest pocket at the small end or go full-size on a tote front. The hair texture and glasses detail holds up well even in the 3-inch sizes, the satin fill on the puffs is dense enough to keep the shape crisp. Run it on a medium-weight stabiliser and you wont have any trouble with the fine outline stitching round the curls. Skip the light tearaway on stretch fabric, it'll pull.
People have been buying this for salon aprons and branded tees a lot lately, I had a run on it last month. Pop it on anything and it reads immediately.

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.
