I finished this bouquet in the summer of 2010 for a wonderful friend and fellow teacher at the bead store. She approached me one day and asked if I could make beaded starfish. I wasn't so sure, but I came up with a design for a starfish-like flower and then somehow convinced her that I should make her entire wedding bouquet.
I wanted to create tons of texture and make the bouquet look like it was filled with underwater flowers and plants. I included some gorgeous real shells as well. The bouquet was a real success, and the bride loved it!
