\"Vintergr\u00f8n\" (Lesser Periwinkle) - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit for a small fabric pouch with a drawstring closure and a fine botanical motif. The pouch measures 12 x 18 cm and is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B, which gives the motif a light and detailed expression.<\/p>\n
The motif shows Lesser Periwinkle as a single plant with a blue-violet flower, green leaves, fine stems and small rootlets at the bottom. It is a small motif with great effect, where the light pouch creates a calm frame around the shape of the plant.<\/p>\n
On the front of the pouch, the Lesser Periwinkle stands as a small botanical portrait. The plant grows up from the base with visible rootlets, giving the motif a natural beginning. The brown and green tones at the bottom make the plant feel rooted in the fabric.<\/p>\n
The slender stems lift the motif up through the centre of the pouch. Along the way, the leaves spread in different directions. The leaves are embroidered in green shades, creating variation and depth. Some leaves appear darker and fuller, while others seem lighter and more delicate.<\/p>\n
At the top is the blue-violet flower. It is the clear colour point of the motif and gives the pouch a soft, almost woodland-like expression. Beside it is a small bud, which makes the plant feel alive and adds a fine botanical detail to the embroidery.<\/p>\n
The motif does not fill the entire pouch. Instead, it is allowed to stand with space around it. The empty surface around the embroidery is an important part of the expression and makes the pouch simple, light and elegant.<\/p>\n
The finished pouch measures 12 x 18 cm. The small format makes it suitable for jewellery, buttons, needles, small embroidery items or other things you would like to store neatly. It can also be used as a personal gift pouch.<\/p>\n
The drawstring closure makes the pouch practical to use. At the same time, the embroidery gives it a special handmade expression. It is a project that can both be used and enjoyed as a small piece of botanical embroidery.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the green, blue-violet and brown shades a soft and natural character. The colours are calm, while the flower adds a small, delicate lift.<\/p>\n
The pouch is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fabric has a fine structure that suits the small leaves, stems and flower details well. This makes this version especially suited to a small, precise motif.<\/p>\n
Gerda Bengtsson is known for her plant embroideries, where the forms of nature are depicted with great calm and confidence. Her motifs are often simple in structure, yet full of fine details when you look more closely.<\/p>\n
In Lesser Periwinkle - pouch - Gerda Bengtsson (GB), this approach is clearly seen. The plant is not surrounded by extra decoration or large colour fields. Instead, the Lesser Periwinkle itself is allowed to be the centre of the motif.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits with fine materials and classic motifs. Here, the botanical expression is transformed into a small useful pouch, where the embroidery is both functional and decorative.<\/p>\n
