Harer - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)
"Harer" (Hares) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a light, playful and colourful motif. The cushion is filled with hares in many different forms, colours and movements. Some sit still, others leap forward, and several turn in different directions, giving the whole motif a lively and decorative rhythm. It is a cushion with a friendly expression, beautifully suited to a child’s room, sofa, armchair or summer house.
A motif with hares in motion
The motif shows a whole flock of hares spread across the cushion’s light linen background. Each hare has its own placement and body shape. Some are small and upright with long ears, others lie low against the background, while several leap across the surface with stretched legs and a clear sense of speed in the body.
The many directions give the motif life. The hares look as if they are moving around among one another, creating a fine sense of play, curiosity and small moments from nature. There is no heavy background or dense landscape. Instead, each hare is allowed to stand out clearly, and the light background gives plenty of air between the figures.
The colours are an important part of the cushion’s expression. The hares are embroidered in pink, orange, ochre-yellow, green, greyish, reddish and darker tones. The varied colour palette makes the motif cheerful and modern, while still simple enough to work as a home textile. The soft colours go well together and give the cushion a warm and friendly character.
A colourful cushion with graphic calm
The finished embroidery measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the structure of the motif well, with the hares distributed across the entire surface. The cushion has a decorative expression that can be used as a seasonal motif for spring and Easter, but also as a charming animal cushion all year round.
"Harer" (Hares) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B.
