Farverig elefant - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)
Colourful Elephant - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a warm, creative and decorative motif. The cushion shows an elephant filled with colours, flowers and small patterns. The motif stands out beautifully on the unbleached linen background. This gives the cushion a light expression, even though the elephant is rich in detail.
An elephant filled with flowers and colours
The motif shows an elephant seen from the side. The body is filled with flowers, leaves and patterns in strong colours. There are red, orange, turquoise, blue, purple and green shades. The colours give the elephant a lively and personal expression.
The flowers are placed across the whole body of the elephant. Some are large and striking. Others are smaller and sit as fine fields of colour between leaves and pattern details. This gives the motif a lush and imaginative character.
The elephant’s trunk is raised and curves elegantly forward. This gives the motif movement and charm. The large ears, long back and heavy legs make the figure easy to recognise. At the same time, the many flowers and colours give the elephant an artistic and decorative character.
The unbleached linen background creates good air around the motif. The elephant is therefore allowed to stand out clearly. This makes the cushion calm enough for the home, while still being full of colour and personality.
A colourful cushion with a decorative expression
The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the shape of the elephant well. The motif fills the centre of the cushion, while the open background creates balance.
Colourful Elephant suits a sofa, armchair, child’s room or creative corner. It can also be used as a colourful detail in a simple interior. The cushion is ideal for those who love animals, flowers and motifs full of life.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a soft and textile expression. The clear shades gain depth, and the small pattern fields become distinct without feeling harsh.
The cushion is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10U. The fabric provides a classic background with a fine structure. Here, the shape of the elephant, the flowers and the many small colour shifts stand out clearly.
