Blå og grønne sommerfugle - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Blå og grønne sommerfugle" (Blue and Green Butterflies) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a calm, graphic and decorative butterfly motif. The cushion is covered with butterflies in blue, green and turquoise shades. The repeated forms create a lively pattern, where each butterfly has its own play of colour in the wings.

A motif with butterflies in blue tones

The motif shows a series of butterflies arranged in a regular pattern across the surface of the cushion. Most of the butterflies are shown with open wings. Some sit fully within the surface, while others continue beyond the edge. This gives the motif a sense of movement.

The colours are mainly blue, dark blue, green and turquoise. The dark outlines give the butterflies a clear form. The lighter blue and turquoise details create life in the wings. Several of the butterflies have small circular markings on the wings, giving the motif extra depth.

The butterflies are not identical, even though the pattern repeats. Some have more darkness in the wings. Others have more green or light blue details. This makes the embroidery interesting to look at, without making the overall expression restless.

A cushion with graphic calm and a light nature atmosphere

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the repeated butterfly pattern well. The light linen background creates air between the blue and green figures. This gives the cushion a light and clear expression.

The cushion suits a sofa, armchair, summer house or a bright room. It can also be used as a calm colour detail together with other cushions in blue, green or natural tones. The motif has both a nature-inspired feel and a graphic character.

Blue and Green Butterflies is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a soft and textile expression. The blue and green shades gain depth, while the dark outlines keep the motif cohesive.

The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The fabric provides a classic background with a fine structure. Here, the butterflies’ wings, patterns and small colour shifts stand out clearly.
