Simple Natural Advent Corolla / Jednostavan prirodni adventski vjenčić

Advent Corolla 2015

Ovo je tako jednostavan adventski vjenčić,

da sam se mislila hoću li vam ga predstaviti ili ne.

 

This Advent Corolla is so simple,

I was thinking am I going to present it to you or not.



 

Za izradu će vam trebati razno zelenilo,

po izboru ili ono što možete naći.

 

You will need some greenery,

by your choice or what you can find nearby.

 

         

 

 

Ja koristim ono što mogu ubrati u blizini kuće;

najčešće su to grančice od bora, par vrsta smrike (borovice),

možda malo kadulje, hrasta i puno grana grmova za koje ne znam naziv.

Dobro bi bilo da na granama ima češerića, bobica i slično.

 

I usually use what I can find nearby my home:

pine branches, couple o different kinds of juniper,

some sage perhaps, oak, and many more I don't know name of.

It would be great if you could find branches with little cones or berries on.

 



 

Koristeći slamnati vijenac kao osnovu,

grančice ubadam najprije sa unutarnje strane vijenca,

zatim sa vanjske,

pa popunjavam gornji dio vijenca (možete pogledati OVDJE).

 

Using a straw form as a base,

I insert little branches from the inside of the wreath form,

then outside,

and the top of the corolla/wreath at the end (you can see that HERE).

 

 

Ove godine sam se odlučila koristiti izbjeljene češere/šiške,

više o procesu izbjeljivanja možete pročitati OVDJE.

 

Premda nisu ispale skroz bijele,

dobivena boja mi se jako sviđa;

šiške mi se čine puno nježnije.

 

I decided to go for bleached pine cones this year,

you can read more about bleaching process HERE.

 

My pine cones didn't turn as white as snow,

but I am amazed by their shade,

they seem so much more gentle now.

 

 

 



 

 

 

Ove godine me je privukao prirodan izgled -

tu i tamo koja šiška,

bijele svijeće,

konop umjesto satenskih mašni.

 

I enjoy natural look -

some pine cone here an there,

white candles,

rope instead of satin bows.

 

 

 

 

 

Uvijek isto iznenađenje kad složim zeleni vjenčić -

koliko tu raznih nijansi zelene boje ima!

 

Always the same surprise when I make a wreath like this -

how many different shades of green is here!

 

 

Ovo je vjenčić za našu studenticu,

njoj poznati mirisi doma.

 

This Advent Corolla is meant for our girl at University,

 familiar scents to remind her of home.

Have a nice day!
