Hjerteblomst – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
"Hjerteblomst" (Bleeding Heart) – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a small botanical embroidery featuring a simple arrangement of bleeding heart placed in a blue jug. The characteristic hanging flowers form a gentle arch from the plant, while the green leaves spread upward and to the sides.
The motif is light and harmoniously composed. The delicate pink flowers stand in contrast to the plant’s green foliage and create a natural focal point in the embroidery. The blue jug provides a calm visual anchor that gathers the composition.
The colour palette is clear and balanced. The pink flowers, green leaves and blue jug highlight the plant’s form and give the motif a fresh botanical character.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, producing clear stitches and bright colours. The yarn emphasises the small details in both flowers and leaves.
The design was developed for Haandarbejdets Fremme and is embroidered on Linen 12B from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The fine fabric structure provides precise stitch definition and suits the small details of the motif.
