\"Blomster p\u00e5 bl\u00e5 bund\" (Flowers on Blue Ground) \u2013 cushion \u2013 Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a decorative embroidery featuring a lush arrangement of flowers set against a deep blue background. The motif consists of various flowers and leaves that rise from the lower edge of the cushion and spread across the surface.<\/p>\n
The individual plants are rendered in soft shades of green, yellow, white and red. The clear colours stand in strong contrast to the dark ground and highlight the forms of the flowers and foliage. The composition gives the embroidery a lively and nature-inspired expression.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is worked with Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme, which creates a full and soft surface. The wool yarn adds depth to the colours and supports the organic shapes of the flowers.<\/p>\n
The motif is embroidered on stramaj, which provides a firm and stable structure for wool embroidery. The clear canvas structure highlights the stitches and gives the design a distinctive textile character.<\/p>\n
The design was created by Gerda Bengtsson for Haandarbejdets Fremme. Her botanical inspiration and confident use of colour result in a cushion where the natural motif appears both decorative and harmonious.<\/p>\n\n
