Just Egg-a-licious





Open scallop shadowbox frame, vintage noisemaker, wooden egg, laminated egg illustrations, the inside of a bead-game illustration (Just Desserts), cut-out desserts, candles, fork,'Hershey Fridge Magnet', miniature ball w. bell gathered for this whimsical art sculpture/shadowbox.




It all began with the 'Just Desserts' bead game box. I formed a bench from this back piece in the game for the monacle egg & perched dessert on his head. The full dimension wooden egg with webbed feet wears a teaspoon on his head. I painted the face & bow tie on the once-plain egg. A spiral ornament gives the wide-eyed egg a precarious balance as he springs forth with the cake. On the outer frame a long-handle fork holds a "bite" and the vintage New Year noisemaker claps the Egg-a-licious group.


Measures approx. 12 x 12"
