Mocked up this one as something between a botanical portrait and a daydream. The woman's face sits at centre with eyes closed, her dark hair rendered in solid satin so it pools heavy and real around her shoulders. One arm lifts up and out of frame, holding a small watering can thats tipped to pour, drops falling down toward her head. Round her face and hair, flowers and wild botanical stems grow in every direction, lilies and open roses and loose sprigs of leaves, all done in fine outline stitching so they read delicate against the bold hair fill.
The contrast is kinda the whole point. Dense solid black hair next to the airy botanical linework, you realise how much visual weight that creates once its stitched out on fabric. Density is 394 stitches per square inch, stitch count runs from 5,090 on from the petite 3.5 to 11,264 on the largest. Five sizes available, going from 3.49 by 1.78 inches to 7.5 by 3.81 inches. Its a wide horizontal composition so it fits beautifully across a shirt yoke, a cushion band or a tote front panel.
Best on a pale or white background where the linework reads cleanly. Cream, off-white, soft sage or pale blush all work well. Skip dark fabric, the fine floral detailing disappears against anything navy or black. Pop mid-weight cutaway behind on woven cotton, float a layer of water-soluble topping on linen so the slender stem stitches dont sink into the weave. Hoop snug and run a slow first pass over the delicate botanical sections.
A customer asked me last winter to stitch this on a canvas market bag she uses for her morning farmers market run, she told me strangers keep stopping her to ask where its from. Thats the reaction you want really.

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.
