Blå fugle – cushion – Edith Hansen (EH)

"Blå fugle" (Blue Birds) – cushion – Edith Hansen (EH) is a decorative embroidery featuring a repeated pattern of small birds, leaves and circular forms. The birds appear in pairs around round elements, creating a rhythmic and symmetrical pattern across the entire surface of the cushion.

The colour palette moves through shades of blue, turquoise and green, where the light birds stand in clear contrast to the darker background. The combination of birds, stylised plant motifs and circles gives the embroidery an ornamental and graphic character.

The embroidery is worked with Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The wool yarn creates a full and textured surface and adds depth to the colours, which suits the dense and repeated pattern.

The motif is embroidered on stramaj, providing a stable ground for wool embroidery. The firm structure highlights the stitches and supports the clarity of the pattern in the design.

The design was created by Edith Hansen for Haandarbejdets Fremme. The motif combines inspiration from nature with ornamental structure, resulting in a distinctive cushion where the texture and colours of the embroidery stand out clearly.
