✦ Here is my entry for the new Jewelry Community Contest 💐 - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia

🇪🇸 ~ ¡Hola a todos! 💕 Esta es la primera vez que participo en la Comunidad Jewelry y es gracias al tag de la muy querida Irene Navarro con la que estoy muy agradecida (¡si no la siguen deben hacerlo!), porque hace mucho tiempo que no participo en un concurso temático en Hive por no enterarme a tiempo 🙏 😅 💦

El concepto de este concurso me ha encantado porque aunque indica un tema deja mucha libertad creativa:

"(...) Se trata de crear un accesorio de tu gusto que tenga que ver con tu país de origen, el accesorio debe ser algo original y claro que tenga que ver con tu país (...)"

¡Todavia hay oportunidad para participar!, la recepción de participaciones es hasta el Lunes 19 de Agosto y puedes conocer todos los parámetros de la actividad en este post; y me gustaría invitar a participar y unirse a la Comunidad de Jewelry a:

@littlesorceress, @creacioneslelys y @fixie

🇺🇸 ~ Hello everyone! 💕 This is the first time I participate in the Jewelry Community and it is thanks to the tag of the very dear Irene Navarro to whom I am very grateful (if you don't follow her you must do it!), because it has been a long time since I participated in a themed contest on Hive for not finding out in time 🙏 😅 💦

I loved the concept of this contest because even though it indicates a theme it leaves a lot of creative freedom:

“(...) It's about creating an accessory of your taste that has to do with your country of origin, the accessory must be something original and of course that has to do with your country (...)”

There is still a chance to participate!, the reception of entries is until Monday, August 19 and you can know all the parameters of the activity in this post; and I would like to invite to participate and join the Jewelry Community to:

¡Una nota importante!, para este post todas las fotografías del proceso las he dejado sin edición para que se aprecie el color verdadero de los materiales y resultado // An important note!, for this post all the photographs of the process have been left unedited to show the true color of the materials and the result ✦ 1 - 2 - 3 ✦

Apenas leí las condiciones del concurso supe inmediatamente en qué quería basar mi participación, justo esperaba una ocasión especial para elaborar un accesorio de color amarillo-dorado, en este caso basado en el árbol Araguaney (Handroanthus chrysanthus o Tabebuia chrysantha), uno de los símbolos patrios de Venezuela (declarado árbol nacional el 29 de mayo de 1948), y mi símbolo patrio favorito.

As soon as I read the contest conditions I immediately knew what I wanted to base my participation on, I was just waiting for a special occasion to make a yellow-golden accessory, in this case based on the arbol Araguaney (Handroanthus chrysanthus or Tabebuia chrysantha), one of the patriotic symbols of Venezuela (declared national tree on May 29, 1948), and my favorite patriotic symbol.

Crecí en una casa con 2 arboles gigantes de Apamate, considerado el "primo rosado" del Araguaney, en mi memoria las mañanas con el suelo pintado de colores es de los recuerdos que más atesoro, y la flor del Apamane y el Araguaney son muy parecidas, por eso lo he tomado como inspiración para un broche-corbatín elegante. ¡Vamos a comenzar! ╰ (▔∀▔) ╯ 🪡 ✨

I grew up in a house with 2 giant Apamate trees, considered the “pink cousin” of the Araguaney, in my memory the mornings with the ground painted with colors is one of the memories I treasure the most, and the Apamane flower and the Araguaney are very similar, that's why I have taken it as inspiration for an elegant brooch-tie. Let's get started! ╰ (▔∀▔) ╯ 🪡 ✨

✦ A flat organizer will be very helpful. And here you can see how to prepare the felt on the embroidery drum! ✦

✦ The embroidery of this brooch starts from the largest to the smallest pieces ✦

1723761796800.jpg1723761796755.jpg1723761796734.jpg

✦ I started this project late at night because I was so excited and didn't want to wait until the next day ✦

La primera parte de este proyecto comienza con la pieza principal, el broche. Normalmente utilizaría nylon transparente pero se me había acabado así que utilice hilo color amarillo, con una puntada-doble delicada al final no se notará, lo importante es que estos detalles logísticos no te detengan.

The first part of this project starts with the main piece, the brooch. Normally I would use clear nylon but I had run out so I used yellow thread, with a delicate double-stitch at the end it won't show, the important thing is that these logistical details don't hold you back.

La secuencia para el broche comienza primero con las piezas centrales, mas grandes, luego un borde de apliques mas pequeños, y termina con un marco espaciado de perlas sintéticas. El objetivo es que se diferencien los pétalos de la flor pero más embellecido (es dificil saber cuándo detenerte porque mientras más cosas agregas más hermoso y ostentoso es, pero no quería hacerlo demasiado pesado).

The sequence for the brooch starts first with the center, larger pieces, then a border of smaller appliqués, and ends with a spaced frame of synthetic pearls. The goal is to differentiate the petals of the flower but more embellished (it's hard to know when to stop because the more things you add the more beautiful and ostentatious it is, but I didn't want to make it too heavy).

1723761796632.jpg1723761796623.jpg1723761796614.jpg

✦ When I was satisfied with the appearance of the brooch from all angles, I carefully trimmed off the excess felt with small scissors, taking care not to cut the threads that hold the appliqués in place ✦

1723761796604.jpg1723761796575.jpg1723761796565.jpg1723761796555.jpg

1723761796433.jpg1723761796443.jpg1723761796461.jpg1723761796469.jpg

✦ While it was still dark, I took a piece of synthetic leather, and glued the brooch with enough cold silicone. And let it sit overnight. In the morning it was completely dry ✦

1723761796406.jpg1723761796414.jpg1723761796424.jpg
1723761796377.jpg1723761796397.jpg1723761796387.jpg

✦ Here you can see the work much better, with the clear light of the following morning ✦

Ahora este tipo de broches necesita una base estable no importa si se trata de un aplique solitario o de un complemento, el fieltro es solo la primera base para fijar las piedras bordadas, ahora la segunda parte es instalar la cuerina sintética y retirar los excesos solamente cuando estes 100% seguro de que el silicón frio a secado completamente, y eso puede tomar varias horas.

Now this type of brooch needs a stable base no matter if it is a solitary applique or a complement, the felt is only the first base to fix the embroidered stones, now the second part is to install the synthetic leather and remove the excess only when you are 100% sure that the cold silicone has dried completely, and that can take several hours.

✦ All ribbons must be ironed! ✦

1723761796267.jpg1723761796247.jpg1723761796236.jpg

✦ Many safety seams so that nothing moves out of place ✦

1723761795724.jpg1723761795732.jpg

✦ These final steps must be done calmly and carefully, the beauty of this piece is based on its symmetry and neatness, if we accidentally stain the ribbons or the brooch we will not be able to fix it ✦

1723761795807.jpg1723761795799.jpg1723761795787.jpg
1723761795778.jpg1723761795770.jpg1723761795761.jpg

✦ Allow the piece to dry in a flat, cool and well-ventilated place ✦

¡Vamos ahora con el cuerpo del prendedor!: Para la parte superior utilicé 2 piezas de cinta de seda color amarillo de 15 cm x 4 cm, 2 piezas de cinta de seda dorada de 15 cm x 2.5 cm; para la parte inferior utilice 2 piezas de cinta de seda color amarillo de 17 cm x 4cm, 2 piezas de cinta de seda dorada de 14 cm x 2.5 cm, y 2 piezas de cinta de organza semi-perlada de 17 cm x 4 cm.

Let's go now to the body of the brooch! For the upper part I used 2 pieces of yellow silk ribbon 15 cm x 4 cm, 2 pieces of gold silk ribbon 15 cm x 2.5 cm; for the lower part I used 2 pieces of yellow silk ribbon 17 cm x 4cm, 2 pieces of gold silk ribbon 14 cm x 2.5 cm, and 2 pieces of semi-pearl organza ribbon 17 cm x 4 cm.

Primero cosí la parte superior, y despues la inferior, es mejor hacerlo por separado y despues unirlas, eso ayuda a que no se deformen. En el reverso del broche coloque una cantidad moderada de silicón frío y espere a que fraguara un poco, al menos 3 minutos antes de colocarlo en su lugar.

I sewed the top part first, and then the bottom, it is better to sew them separately and then join them together, this helps them not to deform. On the back of the brooch place a moderate amount of cold silicone and wait for it to set a little, at least 3 minutes before putting it in place.

¿Y como se va a sostener el broche a la ropa?, tenemos 3 opciones, podría haber instalado cintas para atar bajo el cuello de la camisa, o podría hacer agregado 30 cm de elástico, ambas son buenas alternativas, pero como quiero que este broche sea versátil escogí utilizar un imperdible; pera eso sellamos el reverso del lazo con más fieltro color claro, y un seguro rectangular de fieltro con bastante pegamento justo en el centro de la base del imperdible.

And how is the brooch going to be attached to the garment?, we have 3 options, I could have installed ribbons to tie under the collar of the shirt, or I could have added 30 cm of elastic, both are good alternatives, but as I want this brooch to be versatile I chose to use a safety pin; for that we sealed the back of the loop with more light colored felt, and a rectangular felt safety pin with plenty of glue right in the center of the base of the safety pin.

1723761796082.jpg1723761796092.jpg1723761796104.jpg

✦ I made this brooch thinking of a white silk shirt with a dark blue plank skirt (that skirt will be an upcoming tutorial that I will bring very soon!) ✦

Originalmente quería modelar este broche yo misma pero hoy me siento bastante adolorida de la espalda y no quiero sobre esforzarme, me duele estar de pie y debo guardar reposo hasta nuevo aviso; pero espero se pueda apreciar en las fotos lo bonito del resultado y sobre todo el fabuloso contraste de los colores y estilo.

Originally I wanted to model this brooch myself but today I feel quite sore in my back and I don't want to overexert myself, it hurts to stand and I have to rest until further notice; but I hope you can appreciate in the photos how beautiful the result is and above all the fabulous contrast of colors and style.
