The Year In Cross Stitch 1991

Girl with Deer - wall piece - Vibeke Olris (VO) is a poetic cross-stitch embroidery inspired by the meeting between child and nature. The motif shows a little girl in an open forest clearing, where she turns and points towards a deer standing quietly at the edge of the landscape.

The embroidery is worked in soft green, golden and rose shades, giving the motif a warm and calm atmosphere. The tall trees in the background create depth in the image, while the dark bushes and open clearing lead the eye towards the figures.

The girl stands with her arm raised, as if pointing towards the animal or trying to move closer to it. The deer appears light and cautious at the edge of the motif, emphasising the feeling of a quiet moment in nature. The many small stitches give the landscape life and structure.

The embroidery is worked with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The materials give the cross stitches fine detail and beautiful colour transitions, highlighting both the landscape and the figures.

The wall piece is well suited to bright homes, summer houses and rooms with nature-inspired interiors. The calm motif adds warmth and works beautifully as decorative embroidery on the wall.

Vibeke Olris is known for her atmospheric embroideries with small stories from nature and everyday life. Her designs combine simple forms with a lively and Nordic visual language.
