Sommerskov - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Sommerskov" (Summer Forest) - wall piece - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit with an atmospheric forest motif in warm and clear colours. The motif shows a summer forest seen through slender, dark tree trunks, where the light falls between the branches and touches the forest floor in red, orange and pink shades.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished wall piece measures 33 x 40 cm and has a striking, decorative expression with both a sense of nature and colour depth.

A motif with light, tree trunks and glowing forest floor

The motif is built up as a view into the forest. The dark tree trunks stand vertically through the picture surface and create a clear rhythm. Some trunks are strong, others are narrower, and together they give the motif a sense of depth and distance.

Behind the trees is a light sky in subdued white, bluish and violet tones. The light fields between the trunks make the forest open up and give the motif a calm contrast to the stronger colours at the bottom.

The forest floor is embroidered in warm red, orange, pink and golden shades. The colours give the motif an almost glowing summer atmosphere, as if the light is touching the forest floor late in the day. The small yellow and orange stitches create life and movement across the surface.

Around the motif is a striking pink frame. The frame brings the composition together and gives the wall piece a clear and modern expression, while the forest motif still retains its calm natural atmosphere.

Part of a series with four seasons

Summer Forest is part of a series with four versions: Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter. Each version interprets the forest through its own colour mood and season.

In the summer version, warmth and light are what carry the motif. The colours are more glowing, and the forest floor gains a lively intensity. This makes Summer Forest an embroidery with a clear seasonal atmosphere, without tying the motif to one specific month.

The wall piece can hang on its own as a colourful forest motif or be combined with the other seasonal versions, if you want a complete series with the forest as the recurring motif.

A wall piece with colour and natural atmosphere

The finished wall piece measures 33 x 40 cm. The format suits the vertical tree trunks and the rectangular picture surface well. The embroidery is suitable for hanging in a living room, hallway, holiday home or anywhere you want a textile picture with colour and calm.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the red, pink, orange, bluish and brown shades a soft and lively expression. The colours stand out clearly, while retaining the matte textile quality that characterises Flower Thread.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The classic linen structure provides a beautiful base for the cross stitches and supports the motif’s many colour fields and fine transitions.
