The Year In Cross Stitch 1991
Girl on the Beach - wall piece - Vibeke Olris (VO) is an atmospheric cross-stitch embroidery inspired by quiet days by the coast. The motif shows a little girl moving across the stony beach close to the water’s edge, while the sea lies calm behind her.
The embroidery is built up in soft blue, sandy and green shades, creating a calm and natural atmosphere. The many stones and rock formations give the motif structure and variation, while the light water adds a sense of airiness and depth.
The girl stands in the middle of the landscape with pink shoes and fair hair, adding a delicate play of colour against the muted surroundings. The darker stones along the beach lead the eye through the motif and emphasise the feeling of a quiet walk by the sea.
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 summer houses, bright homes and rooms with Nordic interiors. The maritime motif adds a calm atmosphere and works beautifully as decorative embroidery on the wall.
Vibeke Olris is known for her poetic embroideries with small stories from nature and everyday life. Her designs combine simple forms with atmospheric colours and a calm visual language.
