There is something lovely about motifs where you do not see everything at once. First, you notice the green foliage. Then you discover the rhythm of the leaves. And suddenly, the little bird appears from its hiding place. Sparrow in Hiding - wall piece - Vibeke Olris (VO) is an embroidery kit with a quiet and charming story, where the green forms of nature almost create a protective space around the orange sparrow.<\/p>\n
The motif shows a small sparrow sitting low in the picture, almost hidden among leaves and branches. The bird is embroidered in warm orange and reddish shades, which make it light up in the middle of the green. The rounded form, small head and simple wing details give the sparrow a soft and friendly expression.<\/p>\n
Around the bird, the foliage spreads out. The leaves are placed closely, but not heavily. They form a loose frame around the motif and create the sense that the bird is sitting safely inside a green thicket. Some leaves are dark green and full. Others are lighter, almost yellow-green, and give the motif air and variation. The pale leaves work as small glimpses between the darker green tones and make the whole motif feel alive.<\/p>\n
The leaves are embroidered with clear shapes and fine directions. Several of them face different ways, giving the motif movement without making it feel restless. There is a fine balance between the dense green areas and the light background, which allows both bird and leaves to stand out clearly.<\/p>\n
The finished wall piece measures 16 x 21 cm. The format makes the embroidery well suited for framing as a smaller textile picture. It can hang on its own on a narrow wall, become part of a gallery wall or be placed together with other nature motifs. The motif has a simplicity that makes it easy to use in the home, while the little orange sparrow adds warmth and personality.<\/p>\n
The colour composition is especially carried by green shades. The dark, medium green and pale leaves create depth, while the orange colour of the bird becomes the clear focal point of the motif. The light linen background gives a calm expression and emphasises the hand-embroidered character.<\/p>\n
This embroidery kit is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The thread gives the colours a natural and slightly matte character. It suits the quiet nature atmosphere of the motif, where the expression should not be hard or glossy, but soft, textile and alive.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits where materials, colours and motif come together as a unified whole. Here, Danish Flower Thread, linen and a motif based on the classic tradition of nature-inspired embroidery meet. The result is an embroidery design with both decorative value and clear craftsmanship quality.<\/p>\n
With this motif, Vibeke Olris has created a small nature story using few, precise effects. The sparrow is not placed in the centre of the picture as a large main motif. It is, precisely, in hiding, surrounded by leaves that you have to look a little closer to discover. This gives the embroidery a special calm and makes the motif both poetic and present.<\/p>\n
Sparrow in Hiding - wall piece - Vibeke Olris (VO) is therefore an embroidery kit for those who love birds, green shades and small motifs with a quiet story. The finished embroidery has a natural, warm and classic expression that can be enjoyed all year round.<\/p>\n\n
