Heres the wildlife landscape with the two bears and its got proper national park nature energy. Two big chestnut brown grizzlies stand facing each other across a winding stream. The left bear dips its head low, sniffing the water. The right bear stands tall, chest forward, watching. Their fur is shaded with directional stitching so the coats look soft and full, not just flat brown patches.
Behind them rises a layered mountain range, peaks done in dusty tan with darker chestnut shadow lines on the slopes, real watercolour-style depth. Three forest-green pine trees flank each side, with crisscross fill that mimics needle texture. A red sun sits centred in the sky between the peaks. Around it I sprinkled little four-pointed stars in mustard yellow and cream, eight or nine of em scattered, kinda just floating across the upper sky. The stream snakes between the bears in navy blue running stitches with mustard yellow pebbles dotted on the banks. Real cabin lodge wall art vibes.
Last september an REI store manager messaged me about the bears on canvas tool roll patches, and from there I leaned into a wild animal piece that suited adult-sized hoodies, not kids merch. So I actually pushed the colour count up, 13 colours total, mostly natural earthy tones. Orders kept coming for father-son camping trip gifts and yellowstone souvenir totes ever since. One customer sewed the 7-inch on the denim military back, ya wouldnt believe how good it sat under the shoulders.
Stitch the biggest size on a heavy oatmeal canvas hoodie back panel. Or run a 5-inch on the front of a sage green flannel for a quieter take. Avoid white tee material, the cream highlights on the bears bellies disappear without a darker ground behind them. Charcoal, navy, forest green or burgundy fabrics all give the design somewhere to land. Honestly its the kinda piece that suits earth tones best.
Densest section runs across the bear bodies and the mountain shading, the tallest size lands around 47k stitches. Hoop with medium cutaway stretched tight underneath, and run a 80/12 needle for the satin column work on the pine trees. Knock the rpm down on the directional bear fur kicks in, the change of angle on the shoulder and rump needs a steady feed. Reach out anytime via chat with the file name and ill resend.

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.
