The face is centred and looking straight at you. Big open eyes with those long radiating lash strokes that go both up and down, and the iris of each eye is a teal coloured spiral that fills the whole eye socket. Its a very specific look that you see in a lot of unicorn illustration right now, its halfway between cute cartoon and pop art. The horn sits right between the eyes and its done in orange satin with a visible spiral groove running up it.
Across the top of the head theres a full floral crown. Not a simple wreath, its a cluster of blooms in four colours: red, dark blue, orange, with dark green pointed leaves filling the gaps. The pink triangular ears poke up through the crown on either side and the inner ear uses aqua satin which contrasts well against the pink. Small spark or star shapes in what looks like an olive-khaki colour scatter around the face and crown adding detail without adding more colour stops.
Eight colours and nine stops, sizes go from just under 3 inches wide up to 6.36 inches across 9 different size options. Its a complex piece with alot of small fill areas. Use medium cutaway stabiliser on any knit or stretchy fabric. Add topping on any fabric with texture or the lash stitches, which are fine running stitches, will sink completely into the pile. Hoop tight, slow down on the flower sections where the stitch direction changes alot, and pick a 75/11 needle for most fabrics. Add a 90/14 only if youre going onto thick fleece. The result is really sharp when the hoop is solid and the topping is on. I get messages about this one around girls birthday season and one customer last month stitched the large version on a minky blanket for a unicorn-themed first birthday and told me it became the centrepiece gift at the whole party. Drop a message if youre having any trouble with the download and Ill get it sorted out quickly.

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.
