Egg à la Fabergé

An egg, embroidered in the style of Fabergé, adorns the Easter-decorated apartment.

The artist Gudrun Hartwig’s design is implemented into embroidery on handwoven linen.

The terraced base is decorated with wave stitches, while the oval shape features the cable stitch grid.

Only these two patterns are used for all areas of the design.

Leaves and small fillings are worked with satin stitches, whereby the continuation of the stitches from one leaf to the next along the coral knot stitches makes the stem subtly more distinctive.

The relatively small areas require small filling patterns, whose subtle effect

underlines the magnificent overall picture.
French knot stitches, placed between the coral knot stitch lines, create an attractive pattern in a simple way.

This results in an extraordinary and unusual Easter embroidery.

Anyone who wants to make it a truly special, magnificent jewel can decorate the “window” with small, colorful cross-stitch motifs

or fill them with tapestry motifs, as the photomontages suggest.
