Long flowing teal green hair frames her face, painted in classic sugar skull style. Purple eye sockets with the spider lash detail, a small heart on her forehead, delicate floral patterns on her cheekbones. A crown of pink daisies and bright white daisies sits on her head above a small gold tiara band. Eighteen separate threads to get the full dia de los muertos palette right. 5 sizes from 2.55 inches across up to 5.47 inches across.

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.
