Fuglekonge - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Fuglekongen" (The goldcrest) is one of those small birds that can easily be overlooked if you do not know what to look for. It moves quickly among the branches of conifer trees and often first reveals itself by its fine shape and the small coloured stripe on its head. Goldcrest - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit with a calm and nature-inspired motif, where small birds sit among light fir branches on a light linen background.

Small goldcrests among fir branches

The motif shows several small goldcrests placed among fine green branches. The birds are embroidered in grey, black and white shades with small red-orange details on the head. The subtle colour shifts give the birds life, without the motif losing its calm character.

The branches spread across the whole picture surface and create a light, natural rhythm. The green needles are embroidered with fine, slender lines, giving the impression of fir or conifer branches. The birds are not placed in a fixed row, but distributed among the branches, giving the motif a lively and harmonious structure.

There is something quiet about the scene. You get the sense of a small glimpse from the edge of the forest, where the tiny birds hop between the branches and almost blend into the green. At the same time, the small red details make the eye keep finding the birds again.

A small wall piece with a fine nature atmosphere

The finished wall piece measures 21 x 21 cm. The square format suits the calm composition of the motif well, where branches and birds are naturally distributed across the surface. The green border frames the motif and gives the embroidery a finished, classic expression.
