\"Fjollede Fugle\" (Silly Birds) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with colour, imagination and plenty of small personalities. The motif shows a flock of birds, each of which seems to have its own direction, rhythm and character. Some stand still and upright, while others lift their wings, walk forward or turn their heads, as if they are in the middle of a small bird conversation. This gives the cushion a cheerful and lively expression, where the embroidery becomes decorative, fun and full of movement.<\/p>\n
The motif is spread across the entire surface of the cushion with many different birds in clear colours. There are birds in blue, green, red, orange, pink, purple and turquoise shades. Some have long tails, others have broad wings, small crests, patterned bodies or fine stripes in their plumage. The birds are not realistic depictions, but imaginative figures where colours and forms are allowed to play freely.<\/p>\n
The small orange legs and beaks recur in several places and bring the motif together. At the same time, the many colour changes give each bird its own character. A blue bird may seem calm and elegant, while a red or orange bird immediately draws the eye. The green birds give the motif freshness, and the purple and pink details make the whole design more playful.<\/p>\n
The composition has a fine rhythm. The birds are placed so they do not stand in fixed rows, but move around the surface. This makes the cushion lively and gives the eye something new to discover each time you look at it.<\/p>\n
This version of Silly Birds is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The motif is also available in a version on 7B, but here you get the version on 10B, where the structure of the linen provides a fine and classic background for the many bird forms.<\/p>\n
The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The format gives plenty of room for the flock of birds, and the light linen background creates air between the many colours. This means the cushion can work both as a striking focal point and as a cheerful, colourful detail in the home.<\/p>\n
Silly Birds suits a sofa, armchair, child\u2019s room, summer house or creative corner where colour and humour are welcome. The motif has a relaxed expression, but is also built with a clear graphic sense, so the whole design never feels random.<\/p>\n
Silly Birds - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and textile expression, which suits the many shades and small details of the motif well.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits where materials, colours and design tradition come together as a complete whole. In this kit, the classic embroidery background meets a motif that is freer, more humorous and full of imagination.<\/p>\n
Marianne Thornberg has created a cushion where the birds are not just decoration, but small characters in a colourful universe. Each bird contributes to the whole with its own form, colour and movement. This makes the embroidery interesting to work on and gives the finished cushion an expression that is personal, lively and easy to love.<\/p>\n\n
