Stor vortebirk – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
Stor vortebirk - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an impressive embroidery design in cross stitch featuring an elegant silver birch rendered in fine detail. The light trunk and gently hanging branches create a calm and natural expression, while the many small leaves bring life and movement to the motif.
The embroidery is inspired by Nordic nature and highlights the characteristic shape of the silver birch in a simple and atmospheric way. The green shades in the foliage vary subtly, giving the tree a lively appearance that evokes thoughts of spring and early summer.
The large format makes the embroidery especially decorative as a wall piece. The many details are beautifully displayed on the fine linen fabric, where the cross stitches create texture and depth in the bark, branches and leaves.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 7B. The materials create a beautiful and classic result with defined cross stitches and an elegant handmade expression.
