Ganutell
|
|
Pronounced gun-oo-tell, this 18th century flower craft
originated on the island of Malta, off the coast of Italy.
Ganutell petals are formed with the same basic technique
as French beaded flowers but instead of beads strung on
wire, Ganutell employes rayon (or silk) floss twisted
together with a fine gauge wire. Ganutell also uses
bouillon and other fancy wires to create different
effects. This allows flowers of great versatility,
delicacy and beauty.
For more on
Ganutell please visit my companion Web site.
This site was formerly run by Jacky Menhennet who, for various
personal reasons, has passed the Web site on to me.
Jacky is an expert in Ganutell and over the past year we’ve
formed a wonderful friendship sharing techniques and ideas.
Ganutell Basic Instructions
Includes instructions for the basic petal with variations,
square petal with variations, kite petal, rounded T petal,
and flower center variations.
