More flower brooches

These two models were made using the same pattern and yet they came out so differently. Obviously I used different colored felt and thread. .

I am very happy by the results!Yay!

The first one represent the Edelweiss, an endangered flower that can be found in my country:


The name comes from the German edel (meaning noble) and weiss (meaning white). This little mountain flower believe it or not belongs to the sunflower family.

The second brooch represents the common Sunflower:


Their size is 6x6 cm:

What do you think do they resemble the flowers from which they were inspired from?

Flowers in the meadow

"Oh, this field has many beautiful flowers.
Peter, try to smile, not glower.
Donny don't talk so sour,
Katie don't burp with such power.

...
Oh, this field has many beautiful flowers.
All the children looked at the sky.
Watching something fly.
The rest ... the rest has passed me by."

Kistehén Tánczenekar - Virágok a réten

This is such a sweet and happy song from this Hungarian band. They draw on influences from Gypsy, Balkan, and Eastern European folk music, as well as ska, reggae, rock, hip-hop, and even African music.
This remix of "Virágok a Réten" (Flowers in the Meadow) was produced in collaboration with the popular Hungarian Gypsy Band, Romano Drom. The children of members of both bands join in on the chorous, which has silly, kid-friendly lyrics.
