Skovens dyr - Advent calendar - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Skovens dyr" (Forest Animals) - Advent calendar - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a simple and atmospheric Christmas motif. The motif shows the animals of the forest among fir trees and small wintry details. The entire scene is embroidered in red on natural-coloured linen. This gives the Advent calendar a calm and classic expression with a clear December atmosphere.

A red forest silhouette with animals and fir trees

The motif is built up as a long forest scene. At the top, there is a row of fir trees in different heights. The trees stand closely together and form a decorative forest edge. Between the trees, the animals of the forest move around.

There are deer, a hare, a squirrel, birds and other small animals. Some stand still among the trees. Others appear to be on their way through the forest. The red figures stand out clearly against the natural-coloured background. This gives the motif a fine contrast and a clear silhouette effect.

Above the forest scene are small red dots. They can bring to mind falling snow or small stars in the winter air. They give the motif a light and Christmassy atmosphere. At the same time, the simple colour palette keeps the embroidery calm and harmonious.

A narrow Advent calendar with hanging rings

The finished Advent calendar measures 59 x 25 cm. The low and wide format makes it well suited for hanging on the wall. The calendar can hang in the entrance hall, living room, kitchen or child’s room. It also fits well above a chest of drawers or on a narrow wall space.

At the bottom, the numbers from 1 to 24 are embroidered in red. Beneath the numbers are small hanging rings. They make the calendar suitable as a gift calendar. Here, small presents, notes or other December surprises can be attached.

Forest Animals has a clean and graphic expression. The red forest scene is decorative without feeling heavy. The natural-coloured linen background gives warmth and calm. This makes the Advent calendar easy to use in both classic and Nordic Christmas interiors.
