A motif with white bindweed flowers

The motif is divided into two sections. At the bottom, the bindweed flowers fill the surface with light, open flower heads. The white flowers sit among green leaves and fine brown stems.

Bindweed flowers have a simple, almost funnel-shaped structure. In the embroidery, they appear as light forms against the calm background. The small details in the centre give the flowers life without making the motif feel heavy.

The green leaves create contrast to the white flowers. The leaves face in different directions and bring movement to the motif. The fine stems wind between leaves and flowers and emphasise the plant’s light growth.

A branch with dark leaves

At the top of the motif, a slender branch stretches across the surface. The branch has many small dark green leaves, forming a fine pattern in the upper part of the embroidery.

The branch gives the motif calm balance. At the bottom, the surface is denser and flowering. At the top, the expression is more airy and graphic. This makes the wall hanging easy to look at, even though the motif contains many details.

The green frame brings the whole composition together. It gives the embroidery a clear and defined expression. At the same time, the frame works beautifully with the green leaves and stems.
