\"Ugler i tr\u00e6\" (Owls in a Tree) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a charming and colourful motif, where a flock of small owls has gathered in a large, decorative tree. The motif has a clear graphic expression, but also a soft and humorous atmosphere. The blue owls, the turquoise-blue tree and the many small green leaves create a cushion that feels lively, friendly and easy to use in the home.<\/p>\n
The motif shows a large tree spreading across the centre of the cushion. The tree is embroidered in strong blue and turquoise tones, giving it an imaginative and striking expression. The branches stretch out to the sides and up through the motif, while the roots at the bottom give the tree a firm and decorative base.<\/p>\n
Several small owls sit around the tree. They are embroidered in blue, dark blue, turquoise, black and orange details. The large eyes give each owl an alert and slightly whimsical expression. Some owls sit on the branches, while others appear to be moving through the air with their wings spread wide. This gives the motif movement and makes the cushion feel alive.<\/p>\n
The small green leaves lie as a light background around the branches. The leaves are scattered in many small groups, giving the tree fullness without making it heavy. The green shades create a fine contrast to the blue birds and the light linen background.<\/p>\n
The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the structure of the motif well, with the tree placed centrally and the owls distributed throughout the picture surface. The cushion has a friendly and decorative expression, making it suitable for a sofa, armchair, child\u2019s room, summer house or creative corner.<\/p>\n
The motif has a clear story without feeling heavy. You get the sense of a tree full of life, where the owls keep watch, fly around and almost communicate with one another. The many small faces and varied placements make the embroidery interesting to look at. At the same time, the clear colour palette gives the motif good cohesion.<\/p>\n
Owls in a Tree is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The linen provides a classic and light background, while Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural textile expression. The blue and green shades gain depth, and the small orange details by the eyes, beaks and feet add warmth to the motif.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits where fine materials, carefully considered colours and strong design traditions go hand in hand. In this kit, the classic linen background meets a more playful motif, where colours, figures and composition create a modern and personal expression.<\/p>\n
With Owls in a Tree, Marianne Thornberg has created a cushion where the nature motif takes on a humorous and decorative twist. The owls are not depicted as heavy or serious forest birds, but as small characters, each with its own expression. The blue tree and green leaves give the motif an imaginative frame, while the cushion format makes the embroidery useful as a warm and colourful home textile.<\/p>\n
It is an embroidery kit for those who love birds, clear colours, cushions with personality and embroidery with both humour and graphic strength.<\/p>\n\n
