Mimoser – bell pull – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
The motif shows a vertical mimosa branch with small round blossoms. The yellow flowers appear in light clusters along the slender stem, creating an airy and elegant expression.
The branch is built with several small offshoots. The blossoms repeat in a calm rhythmic sequence, and variation in size adds life to the motif without disturbing the overall harmony.
The leaves are narrow and delicate. They follow the direction of the stem and create upward movement through the design. The cool green tones highlight the warm yellow blossoms.
The composition is tall and narrow, making the motif well suited for a bell pull. The vertical arrangement emphasises the plant’s natural growth.
The embroidery is worked in cross stitch with Danish Flower Thread on linen. The small blossoms appear clear and decorative. The result is a classic botanical embroidery with a light and elegant expression.
