About ten days ago I finally completed a craft I have worked at during the last weeks. It is a bouquet for a bride who wanted something original and who liked the felt flowers I made a few months ago. So, I suggested her some changes and here's my output, a multicoloured bouquet that, after the ceremony, the bride will throw up to the sky!
Per fare gli steli ho usato del filo di ferro verde, poi li ho ricoperti con del nastro verde e decorati con un fiocco di nastro di pizzo.
To make the stem I used green wire, then I covered them with a green ribbon and decorated with a lace bow.
Le differenze con i fiori di feltro del vecchio post sono queste:
Nuovi fiori:
-Formati da quattro o cinque parti
-Parti a forma di petali e rotonde (normali e scalloped)
-Uno o più bottoni e perle
-Cotone mouliné
-Presenza della foglia e dello stelo
-Taglio preciso con Big Shot e fustelle
Vecchi fiori:
-Formati da tre parti
-Solo cinque tipi di petali
-Un solo bottone normale
-Cotone comune
-Assenza della foglia e dello stelo
-Tagliati a mano
Poi c'è qualche piccola differenza nei punti che ho ricamato e nella forma di alcuni petali.
These are the differences among these flowers and the ones of the old post.
New flowers:
-Four or five parts
-Petals and circles (normal and scalloped)
-One or two buttons or pearls
-Mouliné cotton
-Leaf and stem
-Accurate cut with Big shot and dies
Old flowers:
-Three parts
-Only five kinds of petals
-Only one normal button
-Common cotton
-No leaf and stem
-Handcut
Also the kind of sewing and some shapes of petals have little differences.
Ora vi mostro i singoli fiori.
Now I'm going to show you the flowers one by one.

Vi lascio due citazioni e due canzoni che si collegano al tema di questa creazione, l'amore.
Mi piacerebbe che leggeste una poesia di Pablo Neruda che adoro, "Qui ti amo", tratta da "Venti poesie d'amore e una canzone disperata". A questo link trovate la traduzione di Giuseppe Bellini, docente di letteratura ispanoamericana e uno dei massimi esperti di Neruda.
L'altra citazione è di Gibran, il poeta libanese a cui mi sono ispirata anche per il layout "Quando l'amore vi chiama".
"... L'amore non dona che se stesso e nulla prende se non da se stesso.
L'amore non possiede né vorrebbe essere posseduto; poiché l'amore basta all'amore.
Quando amate non dovreste dire: "Dio è nel mio cuore", ma piuttosto "Io sono nel cuore di Dio".
E non pensate di poter voi condurre l'amore, poiché è l'amore che, se vi trova degni, condurrà voi.
..."
Le due canzoni sono entrambe cantate da Noa, una delle più belle voci di questi tempi. La prima è l'"Ave Maria" di Schubert, che spesso viene suonata ai matrimoni e quindi si collega direttamente al bouquet di questo post. La seconda canzone è "La vita è bella", che qui Noa canta a un concerto al Colosseo. Al pianoforte c'è Nicola Piovani (Oscar 1999), il genio che ha scritto questa musica e tante splendide colonne sonore.
I leave you two quotes and two songs related to the theme of this craft, love.
I would like you to read 'Here I love you' by the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, from the book 'Twenty love poems and a song of despair'.
The other quote is from Gibran, the Lebanese poet who inspired me when I created 'When love reckons to you' layout.
'... Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; for love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart', but rather, 'I am in the heart of God'.
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
...'
Both songs are featured by Noa, one of the most beautiful voices of this time. The first one is Schubert's 'Ave Maria', that is often played at marriage celebrations in Italy and has directly to do with the craft of this post. The second song is 'Life is beautiful', that Noa sang during a concert at Colosseo, in Rome. The man who played the piano is Nicola Piovani (Oscar prize 1999), the genius who wrote this music and many other wonderful soundtracks.
Con questo post partecipo anche questa settimana al Linky Party di Alex.
With this post I join the new Alex's Linky Party.

Wow! Complimenti per il favoloso bouquet, è spettacolare e originalissimo!!! I fiori sono uno più bello dell'altro!!! Le cuciture, poi... fanno davvero "la differenza"!!

Ciao, Alice,
Eliminagrazie mille!!! Il bouquet mi ha richiesto molto lavoro, però tu sai che alla fine la soddisfazione ripaga di tutte le fatiche! Poi aver "scoperto" il cotone mouliné è stato la ciliegina sulla torta!
Ho letto la mail e ti ringrazio. Ti scriverò in privato nei prossimi giorni. Sono molto impegnata con il lavoro e con alcune creazioni (una la pubblico tra qualche minuto, appena avrò risposto ai commenti).
Un abbraccio!
Mariangela
E' veramente splendido il tuo bouquet!
