The Groovy Egg



The Queen was feeling a little "1970's"...so she decided to get her groove on & decoupage another egg.  Now I have been seeing all types of decoupaged or "Modge Podged" eggs in blog-land...A week or so ago, I even made Easter eggs using torn pages from an old hymnal & dictionary, vintage lace & buttons (see previous post "Recycled Nest." But I wanted to to be somewhat of a hippie & "shake things up" from the typical Easter egg...
I found this groovy paper in a magazine advertising scrap booking supplies. Cut out the flowers.  Used gloss Modge Podge to adhere. Added lime ribbon, this great vintage clip-on earring, & gold leaves from a broken bracelet in my junk drawer.                      
 
I spray painted a peat pot "eye shadow blue"; placed silver ric-rac around the center; glued a big blue button on the back side & a small button & the other gold leaves on the front.  I then tied a bow using the same lime green ribbon with a blue fauxe rhinestone in the center. I filled the peat pot with light green moss & some shredded paper to "nest" the groovy egg in...

"Stayin' Alive"..."Play That Funky Music".Tiff is gettin' down & gettin' groovy! Come on everybody "Shake Your Booty!"
