Wreathes, are they only for funerals ?
This summer I finally did it .. What you ask ?? Okay, okay.. okay. I will tell you. I made my first wreath! I created a summer wreath. I used artificial greenery and artificial flowers. ☺️
I remember very vividly seeing wreaths at funerals as a way of showing love condolences to the family or friends for their loss. The wreath expressed from their heart what their words could not say. Very beautiful roses and flowers. I also saw wreathes during the Christmas holiday where they used fresh greenery from trees cut down. Wreathes we're also available to purchase in home decor stores and our local everything stores in the community. Saving you from doing the hard work yourself. Wondering how could something so creative be used to being happyness and joy in so many different occasions. For weddings , holidays of all occasions.
Yes ! Wreathes can bring so much comfort and excitement to ones heart.
I decided to research information about the wreath and its history . This is what I learned.
Wreathes origin is traced back to ancient Greece and Rome where they were introduced. Wreathes we're given to athletes as a representation of their victory. Olympian athletes were crowned with Wreathes made with specific leaves. Olive , Laurel tree, Pine that represented strength, and wild celery They were given as gifts to poets and speakers for their work.
Throught out the years the look of traditional Wreathes has changed . You can know purchase Wreathes for different seasons. Some are made using pinecones , lavender and assorted flowers. Fun Wreathes, made out of plastic Easter eggs ,spoons , spools of thread , flip flops, sweaters and many more. Adding a bit of excitement, joy and peace to your home inside and outside.
I am a visual artist, I mainly use acrylic paint. However I also Iove creating mixed media work. Earrings etc . I had a bunch of article flowers and leaves available to use at home.
I purchased these items from Michael's craft store, Amazon and local stores in my community. I've had some of the artificial floral pieces for a few years now . I'm so excited to finally use them in this way.
