[ENG-SPA] 🌸Ninth challenge successfully completed/Noveno reto culminado con éxito🌸

Hello beautiful and creative people of the #NeedleWork community, I hope you are well and having a beautiful Thursday. Today I am very excited to show you the result I got in my ninth challenge. I wanted to publish this post a few days ago but due to electricity, internet, university evaluations, and work problems, I had to postpone it. A few days ago I published the first part of this fun challenge. It had its complications because several pieces had to be repeated and then joined together, I made a total of 39 pieces. This is the first time I make so many pieces for a project, and it is also my first time making a bird like a hummingbird and a mobile. It was quite a challenge to put each piece together because the instructions were not so clear, so I had to figure out how to put them together. I chose green for the hummingbird because the countryside is where I have seen hummingbirds of this color, the color of the flowers I chose because they are bright colors and combined both with the wings of the hummingbird and its body. If you want to see the first part of my challenge here is the link.

Holaaaaa gente hermosa y creativa de la comunidad de #NeedleWork, espero se encuentren bien y estén teniendo un hermoso jueves. Hoy estoy muy entusiasmada de mostrarles el resultado que obtuve en mi noveno reto. Esta publicación quería publicarla hace días atrás pero por problemas de electricidad, internet, evaluaciones de la universidad y el trabajo, he tenido que posponerlo. Hace unos días publiqué la primera parte de este divertido reto. Tuvo sus complicaciones porque eran varias piezas que se debían repetir para luego unirlas, hice un total de 39 piezas. Esta es la primera vez que hago tantas piezas para un proyecto, y también es mi primera vez haciendo una ave como el colibrí y un móvil. La verdad fue todo un reto unir cada pieza porque las instrucciones no eran tan claras, así que tuve que ingeniar como unirlas. Elegí el color verde para el colibrí porque en el campo es donde he visto colibríes de este color, el color de las flores los elegí porque son colores llamativos y combinaban tanto con las alas del colibrí y su cuerpo. Si quieres ver la primera parte de mi reto acá te dejo el enlace.

First I made each petal of the flowers, then I made the androceo of each flower, and 3 leaves. I attached each petal to the androceo and made stamens for the flower with the same color of the androceo (yellow). Once I had everything ready, my mom helped me by making a wire ring and then I covered it with apple green pábilo thread.

Primero hice cada pétalo de las flores, luego hice el androceo de cada flor, y 3 hojas. Uní cada pétalo al androceo y le hice estambres a la flor con el mismo color del androceo (amarillo). Ya al tener todo listo, mi mamá me ayudó haciendo un aro de alambre y luego lo recubrí con hilo pábilo verde manzana.

I cut 6 threads of 30 cm of transparent nylon and inserted them into each flower, leaf, and hummingbird. I placed a large plastic bead at the end of each thread.

Corté 6 hilos de 30 cm de nailon transparente y fuí insertándolo en cada flor, hoja y colibrí. Le coloqué al final de cada hilo una cuenta de plástico grande.

🌸 And this is how my hummingbird and flower mobile turned out. I loved the result, it was worth the whole process and the best part is that my mom loved it. Even though I didn't have a plastic or wooden hoop, I managed with my mom to make one out of wire and cover it with pábilo thread. It took me about 48 hours, maybe a little more. And I say this so that you can see all the work that goes into every craft and that you always look for a solution to finish the project. What do you think? Did you like it?🌸

🌸Y así quedó mi móvil de colibríes y flores. Me encantó mucho el resultado, valió la pena todo el proceso que tuvo y lo mejor es que a mi mamá le encantó. A pesar de que no tenía un aro de plástico o de madera, me la ingenié junto a mi mamá para hacer uno de alambre y revestirlo con hilo pábilo. Me tardé como 48 horas, quizás un poco más. Y digo esto para que vean todo el trabajo que hay detrás de cada manualidad y que siempre se busca una solución para terminar dicho proyecto. ¿Qué opinas? ¿Te gustó?🌸

The flowers are only made up of:

• Peduncle: Part of the end of the stem, holds the flower through the receptacle.
• Receptacle: It is the part that holds the petals, as well as the organelles that make up the flower.
• Perianth: Structure in which the organelles of the flower are protected. It also contains the corolla, the most beautiful petals of a flower.
• Pistil: A tubular-shaped element. It contains the female reproductive apparatus of a flower.
• Geniceo: Female reproductive apparatus, in turn is formed by the stigma, the upper part of the style where it lowers the pollen called the pollen tube, the ovules and ovaries.
• Androceo: Male reproductive apparatus. It is made up of the stamen, the organ that produces pollen, the thecae, which stores the pollen production and the anthers, the part where the pollen is generated.
• Petals: These are the specialized leaves. Their shape, colors and the presence or absence of their odor correspond to climate and genetic factors. In general, they are very attractive and visually striking structures. Their function is to attract pollinators.
