\"Gyldne fugle\" (Golden Birds) - wall hanging - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit with a warm and decorative bird motif. The entire design is arranged as a pattern with 25 birds divided into five rows. The birds are surrounded by dark green branches and small leaves that bring the whole motif together.
\nThe colour palette moves mainly between pale yellow, golden, ochre and muted yellow-green shades. The birds vary in both colour and pattern, giving each one its own expression. The dark green botanical ornamentation creates contrast and gives the motif structure.
\nThe embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished wall hanging measures 34 x 27 cm.<\/p>\n
The distinctive character of the motif lies in the repetition. The 25 birds share the same simple basic shape, but their internal patterns change from one section to the next.
\nSome birds are filled with dense diagonal lines. Others feature dots, stripes, checks or small geometric ornaments. A few have a more open pattern, where the light linen background becomes an active part of the bird\u2019s design.
\nAt first glance, the birds appear as one complete flock. On closer inspection, the many differences become visible. This gives the embroidery a fine level of detail and makes the motif interesting to explore.
\nThe warm yellow and golden colours give the wall hanging a glowing quality. Ochre areas add depth, while the light green shades create variation and connect the birds with the surrounding leaves.<\/p>\n
Dark green branches with small leaves run between the birds. The branches form a continuous network throughout the motif and act as a natural frame around each bird.
\nThe dark lines stand out clearly against both the light background and the golden birds. This makes the pattern easy to read and gives the composition a firm structure.
\nThe branches continue from one section to the next. As a result, the 25 birds do not appear as separate small pictures, but as parts of one complete decorative motif.
\nThe embroidery is finished with a simple green frame around the outer edge. This brings the rectangular design together and emphasises its patterned character.<\/p>\n
Golden Birds is not a naturalistic depiction of particular bird species. The birds have been artistically interpreted as simple forms, with colour, repetition and pattern at the centre of the design.
\nThis gives the wall hanging a graphic and textile expression. The structured arrangement in five rows creates calm, while the many different patterns provide variation.
\nThe colour palette makes the motif warm without feeling heavy. Yellow, golden, ochre and green work naturally together and pair well with wood, linen and other natural materials in the home.
\nThe finished wall hanging measures 34 x 27 cm and can hang in a living room, hallway, bedroom or holiday home. The motif works well on its own or together with other botanical or bird-inspired embroideries.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The matte surface of the thread suits the warm golden colours and muted green shades well.
\nThe fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The classic linen structure provides a light and calm background for the many cross stitches.
\nThe visible linen background between the birds and branches is an important part of the motif. It creates space and allows the different patterns to stand out clearly.
\nThe project contains plenty of repetition, but each bird offers its own pattern. This creates variation while stitching and allows you to work through the motif one bird at a time.<\/p>\n
With Golden Birds, Edith Hansen has created a motif where the same bird shape is interpreted in many different ways. Variations in colour and pattern give each bird its own character, while the branches bring the entire design together.
\nHaandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits with fine materials and designs where classic cross stitch meets a strong visual language.
\n\"Gyldne fugle\" (Golden Birds) - wall hanging - Edith Hansen (EH) is an embroidery kit for those who love bird motifs, ornaments and warm natural colours. The finished result is a decorative wall hanging with rhythm, detail and classic quality from Haandarbejdets Fremme.<\/p>\n\n
