Skytten - bookmark - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Skytten" (Sagittarius) - bookmark - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit for a narrow bookmark with a zodiac motif. The motif is embroidered in blue and dark shades on a light linen background. This gives the bookmark a simple, clear and classic expression.

The design consists of a series of small blue stars moving down through the long format. At the bottom, the motif is completed by a round medallion, where Sagittarius is shown as a small figure with a bow. This gives the bookmark a clear personal character.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished bookmark measures 4 x 24 cm.

A zodiac sign with direction and movement

The motif is based on Sagittarius. At the bottom is the round medallion with a small archer figure. The figure gives the motif a clear focal point and makes the zodiac sign easy to recognise.

Above the medallion, the blue stars are arranged in a calm vertical sequence. The small star shapes create a fine rhythm in the bookmark. They may bring to mind a starry sky, where the eye is led upwards through the motif.

The dark border frames the whole embroidery. It keeps the small stars gathered and emphasises the slender shape of the bookmark. At the same time, the frame creates contrast against the light linen background.
