Information about Flowers
Ganutell (usually Handcrafted Flowers) is a Maltese method of creating flowers by utilising wire and embroidery floss. Ganutell is an old and unique Maltese Art which has just recently been revived.
Ganutell flower making consists of first and foremost twisting silver or gold plated thin wire with thread. Thin thread of various colours is used to produce different colour schemes. Soon after assembling the wire and thread, this is twisted over a slightly thicker silver/gold plated wire to produce petals. After creating a number of petals, these are assembled around a bead or pearl so that a flower is 
shaped. Different sizes are produced according to the sizes of the petals twisted. The petals can be made of different patterns. Besides, sequins, beads and small pearls could also be inserted within each petal to offer a richer looking flower.
The advantages, when compared to beaded flowers are; the flowers are light weight and have a satin-look and easier to create. The flowers incorporate several basic techniques, all are outstandingly elegant. These flowers are infinitely suited to apparel and jewellery applications.
