Vinterfugle – wall piece – Edith Hansen (EH)

"Vinterfugle" (Winter Birds) – wall piece – Edith Hansen (EH) is an atmospheric embroidery featuring small birds gathered in a quiet winter landscape. The birds appear both on the ground and perched in gently curved branches that spread across the composition.

The composition is simple and balanced. Thin branches form a light network across the surface, while the birds are arranged in small groups on the ground and among the branches. The motif is framed by a simple blue border that unifies the composition.

The colour palette is restrained, built around blue and brown tones. The birds are rendered in shades of blue, while the branches appear in warm brown tones. The light background gives the motif a clear and airy expression.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, which provides clear stitches and subtle colour transitions. The structure of the yarn highlights the small details in the birds and branches.

The design was developed for Haandarbejdets Fremme and is embroidered on Linen 10B from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The fabric structure gives the embroidery a clear stitch definition and supports the fine linear elements of the motif.
