\"Kapsejlads\" (Regatta) - wall hanging - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit with a lively maritime motif. A whole fleet of sailing boats moves across a blue water surface. The white sails stand out clearly against the many blue shades and give the motif a light and summery character.
\nThe boats are distributed across the entire picture surface. Some have large sails, while others are smaller and positioned further away in the composition. This creates depth and gives the impression of a regatta with many boats on the water at the same time.
\nThe embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The finished wall hanging measures 33 x 28 cm.<\/p>\n
The white sails are the most prominent element of the motif. The light triangular shapes are repeated across the entire embroidery and create a clear rhythm.
\nThe boats vary in size. Some are larger and become natural focal points, while others appear as small sails higher up in the motif. This gives the picture a sense of distance and movement.
\nMost of the boats are oriented in the same direction, but their positions vary. This makes the motif feel lively, as though the boats are constantly shifting in relation to one another.<\/p>\n
Beneath the white sails are small coloured hulls. These include red, orange, yellow, green, blue and dark shades.
\nThe colours act as small accents against the blue background. They make each boat slightly different and help guide the eye around the motif.
\nThe water itself is embroidered in several blue tones. The lower part is lighter, while other areas appear in deeper blue shades. Small light stitches are scattered across the surface and may bring to mind glints of sunlight or small waves on the water.
\nThe simple colour composition keeps the motif calm, even though there are many boats. The white sails bring the design together, while the hulls add variation.<\/p>\n
The finished wall hanging measures 33 x 28 cm. The format provides plenty of space for the many sailing boats without making the motif feel heavy.
\n\"Kapsejlads\" (Regatta) - wall hanging is a natural choice for a holiday home, living room or a home with an interest in sailing and the sea. It can also make a thoughtful gift for someone who loves life on the water.
\nThe motif has a clear maritime character. At the same time, the design is simple enough to suit many different interiors. The blue and white shades create calm, while the coloured boats add life.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The matte surface of the thread suits the blue shades of the water and the small areas of colour on the boats well.
\nThe fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The linen structure provides a classic base for the cross stitches. The light background also plays a part in the white sails and gives the motif an airy expression.
\nThe many repeated sails make the embroidery engaging to work with. At the same time, differences in size, placement and hull colour add variation throughout the project.<\/p>\n
In Regatta, Ida Winckler has created a motif where repetition is an important part of the expression. The sailing boats resemble one another, but they are never completely identical in size, placement or colour.
\nThis gives the embroidery a distinctive rhythm and a clear sense of activity on the water. Haandarbejdets Fremme\u2019s materials support the motif\u2019s clean shapes and clear colours.
\n\"Kapsejlads\" (Regatta) - wall hanging - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit for those who love sailing boats, maritime motifs and classic cross stitch.<\/p>\n\n
