Havets dyr - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)
"Havets dyr" (Sea Animals) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is a lively cross-stitch embroidery filled with imaginative sea animals and colourful details. The motif brings together fish, seahorses, octopus, crab, coral and seaweed in a decorative underwater world with a playful expression.
The many sea animals are spread across the cushion, creating a rhythmic composition with variation in both shapes and colours. Clear blue shades meet warm red and orange tones, while green details add balance to the motif. The white linen gives the embroidery a light and fresh expression.
At the centre of the cushion is a large red crab, which forms the natural focal point of the motif. Around it, fish and sea animals move in different directions, giving the embroidery energy and life. The graphic shapes give the design a modern and decorative character.
The embroidery is worked with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The materials give the cross stitches fine detail and clear colour changes, highlighting the many small motifs in the embroidery.
The cushion is well suited to summer houses, children’s rooms and homes with colourful textiles. The maritime motif adds personality to the room and works beautifully as a decorative detail on a sofa or in a reading corner.
Marianne Thornberg often works with simple shapes and strong colours, giving her embroideries a lively and modern expression. This design combines humour, graphic details and classic cross stitch in a contemporary interpretation.
