Kanelrose - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

A cinnamon rose has a fine and slightly wild grace. It is not grand in the same way as a full garden rose, but appears lighter, more natural and more botanical in its expression. Cinnamon Rose - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a small embroidery kit with a calm floral motif, where a pink rose, a closed bud, green leaves and brown branches form a simple and harmonious composition on a light linen background. The motif has Gerda Bengtsson’s characteristic eye for plants, where every leaf and every branch has meaning.

A pink cinnamon rose with bud and leaves

The motif shows a branch of cinnamon rose with an open pink flower on the right. The flower is embroidered in light pink and pink shades, giving the petals a soft and lively expression. The yellow centre lights up discreetly and makes the flower the natural focal point of the motif.

To the left, there is a smaller bud that has not yet opened. The bud is embroidered in pink tones with green sepals around it. It gives the motif a fine story of the plant in several stages. You see both what is in bloom and what is on its way.

The branches are brown and gently winding. They run up through the motif and bring the flower, bud and leaves together. The leaves sit in small groups around the branches and are embroidered in several green shades. Some are dark and deep, while others are lighter and fresher. This gives the plant fullness without making the motif feel heavy.

A small wall piece with botanical calm

The finished wall piece measures 15 x 15 cm. The small format makes the embroidery ideal for framing as a single textile picture. It can hang alone on a narrow wall, become part of a gallery wall or be combined with other small botanical motifs from Haandarbejdets Fremme.

The light linen background gives plenty of air around the rose. The motif therefore appears clean, light and easy to take in. The colours are classic and natural: pink flower, green leaves, brown branch and a small yellow centre. This gives the embroidery a friendly atmosphere, well suited to a living room, bedroom, entrance hall or cosy needlework corner.

Cinnamon Rose - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fine linen suits the small details of the motif well, while Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and botanical expression.
