Cykler - belt - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

A belt can be a practical detail, but it can also be a small piece of embroidery that is allowed to be visible in everyday life. Bicycles - belt - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a charming and lively motif, where small cyclists are repeated along the full length of the belt. The motif has a light and cheerful atmosphere, beautifully suited to those who love useful embroidery, clear colours and small figures with plenty of personality.

A belt filled with cyclists

The motif shows a row of small people on bicycles. They move across the belt in a repeated pattern, where both bicycles and figures vary in colour and expression. Some bicycles are red, others yellow or blue, and the small figures are embroidered with fine details in clothing, hair and posture.

There is something playful about the motif. The cyclists do not appear as heavy figures, but as small, light silhouettes that give the whole belt rhythm and movement. The bicycle wheels are marked with simple, open lines, which keeps the motif airy, even though it is repeated several times.

In the detail image, one cyclist can be seen more closely. Here, the small colour shifts become clear. The blue bicycle, the pale and green shades in the clothing and the small red detail create a fine miniature motif. It shows how much storytelling Gerda Bengtsson can bring out in a very small format.

An embroidered belt with practical value

The finished belt measures 89 x 3 cm. The narrow format makes the embroidery different from a classic wall piece or placemat. Here, the embroidery becomes an accessory that can be used and seen. It can be worn as a personal detail with a simple dress, tunic, shirt or loose jacket.

The light linen background of the belt gives plenty of air around the small cyclists. This makes the colours clear and gives the motif a clean, light expression. The white buckle form fits discreetly into the overall design and lets the embroidery remain the central focal point.

Cykler - belt - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fine linen is well suited to the small figures, because the stitches can be placed precisely. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression, so the red, blue, yellow, green and dark tones appear clear without becoming harsh.
