Vægten - bookmark - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Vægten" (Libra) - bookmark - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit for an elegant and personal bookmark with a motif of the zodiac sign Libra. The slender format highlights the small blue stars, which form a vertical starry sky on the light linen background. At the bottom, the motif is completed by a round medallion with Libra’s characteristic symbol.

The bookmark is a fine little project that combines classic cross stitch with a simple and recognisable motif. The finished result is both decorative and practical.

A zodiac motif with balance and lightness

The motif is arranged within a narrow, dark frame, giving the bookmark a calm and orderly expression. Inside the frame, the blue stars are placed with an even rhythm down through the design. The small connections between the stars bring to mind a constellation and emphasise the zodiac theme.

At the bottom of the design is a round medallion with the Libra symbol. The symbol gives the motif a personal and clear character, while also adding a fine graphic finish to the bookmark.

Libra is often associated with harmony, calm and balance, and these qualities are reflected beautifully in the simple composition of the bookmark.

A small embroidery with practical use

The finished bookmark measures 4 x 24 cm and is well suited to novels, notebooks and calendars. The narrow format makes it an accessible embroidery project, while still offering many small details.

The bookmark is an obvious small personal gift idea for a book lover or for someone born under the sign of Libra. It can also be a fine little project for anyone who enjoys small embroideries with symbolism.

The fringes at both ends give a classic and soft finish that suits the simple design beautifully.

Materials with classic embroidery quality

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, giving the motif a fine and lively stitched surface. The blue shades stand clearly against the light background and create a clean and airy expression.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) – Linen 10B. The fine structure of the linen suits cross stitch well and gives the bookmark the classic expression associated with many of Haandarbejdets Fremme’s embroideries.
