\"Blomsterb\u00e5nd\" (Floral Band) - pink - bookmark - Tanja Dinesen Skudstrup (TS) is an embroidery kit with a narrow and floral motif. The bookmark has pink flowers, green leaves and light contrast fields. The colours give a soft and fresh expression that suits the small format beautifully.<\/p>\n
The motif is inspired by the colours and atmosphere of S\u00f8dring, by the entrance to Randers Fjord. It is also inspired by the hydrangea, a flower the designer has always been especially fond of.<\/p>\n
On a perfectly still day, sky, sea and horizon can almost merge at S\u00f8dring. Pink and blue tones settle like long, calm bands. The water mirrors the sky, and the boundary between sea and air can, for a moment, almost disappear.<\/p>\n
This atmosphere has been carried into Floral Band. The motif is not a direct depiction of a landscape. Rather, it is an interpretation of colours, layers and calm. The pink flowers, green leaves and light fields form a narrow pattern, where repetition creates the whole.<\/p>\n
The motif is built up as a vertical band. The pink flowers run through the bookmark and create a fine rhythm. The flowers have warm tones, giving the motif a calm and friendly expression.<\/p>\n
Between the flowers are green leaves. They give the motif fullness and freshness. At the same time, they create a good contrast to the pink shades.<\/p>\n
Along the side are light and blue-grey fields. They break up the floral band and give the bookmark a more structured composition. The narrow format therefore becomes both decorative and clear.<\/p>\n
The motif is finished with fringes at both ends. This gives the finished bookmark a classic textile character. The fringes also emphasise its practical function.<\/p>\n
The flowers in the motif are not intended as a botanical depiction of the hydrangea. Instead, they are a simple and almost playful idea of a flower.<\/p>\n
The individual small flowers of the hydrangea are modest on their own. Together, they sit closely, make room for one another and form something larger. It is precisely the repetition and interplay between the small forms that create the flower\u2019s particular fullness.<\/p>\n
This idea can be seen in the embroidery. The small flowers gather and repeat in bands. In this way, the pattern recalls colours settling in layers between sky, horizon and sea.<\/p>\n
The pattern is repeatable. It can therefore be continued into a longer floral band if you want another format or a more extensive embroidery.<\/p>\n
The finished bookmark measures 4 x 24 cm. It is a manageable project with many fine details. The format makes it suitable when you want to embroider something smaller.<\/p>\n
Floral Band - pink can be used in your own books. It is also ideal as a small gift for a reader. The pink and green colours make the bookmark light, soft and decorative.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a matte and lively expression. The pink flowers gain warmth, while the leaves stand out freshly.<\/p>\n
The bookmark is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 11B. The fabric provides a fine and classic background. Here, the flowers, leaves and small colour fields all stand out clearly.<\/p>\n
Haandarbejdets Fremme is known for embroidery kits with fine materials and carefully developed motifs. In this kit, classic linen meets a small and useful floral design.<\/p>\n
Tanja Dinesen Skudstrup has created a bookmark where place, flower and colour atmosphere merge. S\u00f8dring\u2019s special light, the repetition of the hydrangea and the narrow band format come together in a motif with calm, rhythm and soft colours.<\/p>\n
