Kornvalmue - wall hanging - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

"Kornvalmue" (Corn Poppy) - wall hanging - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a classic botanical motif. The embroidery shows a corn poppy with a red flower, small bud, green leaves, fine stems and clear root fibres.

The motif has the character of a plant portrait. It shows not only the flower, but also the structure of the plant. Flower, bud, leaves, stem and root each have their own place in the composition.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The finished wall hanging measures 29 x 40 cm.

A botanical motif with corn poppy

The motif is built around the red corn poppy on the left. The flower stands on a long, slender stem and becomes the clear colour focus of the motif.

The red petals have small colour shifts, giving the flower depth. The centre is darker and creates contrast to the warm red tones. This gives the flower a lively expression, even though the form is simple.

Beside the flower is a small bud. It has a green stem and a hint of red flower inside. The bud gives the motif a fine sense of growth and development.

The leaves are embroidered in several green shades. They are lobed and light in form, as corn poppy leaves often are. They appear both by the flower stem and on the taller plant stem to the right.

At the bottom are the plant’s root fibres. The fine light and brown lines give the motif a distinct botanical character. This makes the embroidery more than a floral motif. It becomes a small study of the whole plant.

The finished wall hanging measures 29 x 40 cm. The vertical format suits the plant’s tall stems and open structure well.
