I also made one of the cute pieces of coral, but it somehow got lost in the sewing process. Sad! Hopefully it will turn up, and I'll add it to the page.
The "sand" is a felt pocket and the seaweed plants are made up of a funky ribbon that I clipped apart. I also threw in a raffia/bead trim for another type of plant and to add texture. My friend Megan gave me the trim a year ago, and I never thought I'd find a use for it. :)
