\"P\u00e5ske- og pinseliljer\" (Daffodils and Narcissi) \u2013 wall piece \u2013 Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a classic floral embroidery featuring a full bouquet of spring flowers. Yellow daffodils and white narcissi are gathered into a loose bouquet, with the stems tied together with a simple string.<\/p>\n
The motif is composed with a natural movement in stems and leaves. The flowers spread gently to the sides, forming a harmonious and balanced arrangement. The colour palette ranges from clear yellow tones to soft white petals and fresh green shades in the foliage.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, which provides vibrant colour depth and a clear stitch structure. The many shades highlight the petals, trumpets and leaves, giving the motif depth and variation.<\/p>\n
The design was created for Haandarbejdets Fremme and is embroidered on Linen 10B from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The fabric\u2019s structure supports the detailed cross stitches and gives the embroidery a clear and classic expression.<\/p>\n
