At last. Today was my last day off work due to recovering from an operation so I spent most of today working at my bouquet and also my sisters which I began working on last week.
I have decided on the centrepiece also so I have begun building the bouquet around it with ALOT of floral tape. I am so glad I made separate, short pearl stems because I'm finding that I need 1's, 2's and 3's to fill in gaps. I want a pearl seperation between all the pieces I've collected as you'll see in the pictures.
I have run out of bare (silver) wire, my pre-made short pearl stems and the floral tape is running low so after re-stocking on Wednesday I plan to get back to making more stems and arranging.

This is my sisters bouquet started, thank you to http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/izzadee for donating these they're absolutely beautiful :-)
Just need to get more silver wire to do the rest of the buttons |
 |
| Two individual pearl stems twisted onto a longer wire |
 |
| The Stanley brooch shape was that awkward that I decided to attach some pearls to that stem,. |
 |
| Put a button behind this one so you can't see the wire B-) |
 |
| Stanley brooch is the centre, you're looking at the beginning of the top of what I hope to be a teardop shape. Will take daylight pictures when I've done more because the flash isn't the best when your photographing shiny things! |
Another update sooner, I hope! Thank you and please leave a comment if you read but do not follow so that I know I'm not talking to myself ;-)
