Easter Egg Swap

Reading Carla's blog reminded me I hadn't shared pictures of the eggs I made for the Thimble Prims swap.

Paper mache eggs covered with vintage paper,
seam binding, sequins and a feather or two.
A bit of vintage lace and button,
the opening is surrounded by tinted tinsel.
Tucked inside is a pretty little lady

I made 8 eggs total each one little different. My only concern is that they are a bit delicate..oh I hope they make it ok. In a few weeks I should have my swapped eggs to share... or maybe a returned box of scrambled eggs :-O

DEAR ANGIE,
It is a beautifull egg- I love how you folded the seam binding, and added buttons- and the tinted tinsel looks great around the opening, complementing the colors so beautifully.
Your swap partners will be so happy.
Hugs -Dorthe

Oh my, Angie! What a beautiful work of art. Just gorgeous. I soooo hope I get one of your eggs. I can't wait to see all the eggs that everyone created for the swap. I'm sure yours will be right up among the "best in show"!

Thanks for sharing.

Angie your eggs are awesome! I love the little photos inside and you displayed them beautifully for your photos.
