A motif with snowdrops and signs of spring

The motif is divided into two calm sections. At the bottom, the snowdrops grow up from the ground. The narrow green leaves stand closely and upright. Between the leaves, the small light flowers hang on fine stems.

The snowdrops give the motif a clear spring atmosphere. They are among the first flowers to appear when winter releases its grip. In the embroidery, they stand delicate and light against the pale linen background.

At the top of the motif, dark branches spread out. The branches are almost bare and create a fine contrast to the fresh flowers below. They give the embroidery structure and a quiet winter calm.

Small blue birds sit on the branches. They add a poetic detail to the motif and make the sense of spring even clearer. Together with the snowdrops, they tell of the early season, when the light returns.

A wall hanging with calm and balance

The finished wall hanging measures 30 x 30 cm. The square format suits the division of the motif well. The flowers fill the lower section, while the branches and birds create air at the top.

The motif is framed by a dark edge. The frame brings the composition together and gives the embroidery a clear, defined expression. The calm colours make the wall hanging easy to place in the home.
