I finally made a "Wedding Egg"!! And of course it was for my own wedding.  I married a wonderful man by the name of  Bruce Jones whom I have known for 19 years.  Sometimes the right things in life just take a little time.  He works as a Captain for a Fire Department and I am extremely proud of him and the work he does. I've always thought of our Firefighters as Heros and Bruce has been mine for many years.  We were married on the beach in Bandon, Oregon on my birthday in February.  What a magical time and a dream come true for me.

For our cake I used an Emu egg which I sponge painted  in light shades of pink, taupe and white.  The front and back are carved in a free-form shape and trimmed in antique gold edging and cord. Inside I placed a sophisticated bride and groom sharing their first dance as man and wife.  Beautiful pink and cream colored fabric roses are placed around the edges in the front, back and also inside the egg.  I also used  beautiful sequined flowers at the base of the opening front and back.  The egg is placed on a golden stand which is set on a corian base that sat well on our cake.  Golden findings, a pink glass bead and pearl finish the top.  Roses made of a fine netting were hardened with glue and placed around the base. Quite a different "cake topper".  It now sits in my china cabinet as a wonderful reminder of our wedding day.

Shades of pink and mauve are sponge painted on this Emu Egg wedding cake topper.  You will find decoupaged decals of roses on the front and wedding bells on the back which I have carved around.  Pink and gold trim along with pinkish golden beads frame the front and back openings. Here you will also find flat-backed opals.  The bride and groom are set in a garden scene with ivy, pink roses, moss and dried flowers. Pale pink roses are on the top of the egg, set in front of the golden base and as a garland circled around the clear plastic bottom. Pink bell shaped flowers with clear bugle beads drape down the sides. The golden stand sits on a corian base. New design has base trimmed with ribbon and white pearls. Approximately 9 inches high.

The groom places a ring on the bride's finger in this beautiful wedding cake topper.  In a pale pink sponge painted Emu Egg you will find the bride and groom surrounded by white lacy flowers with pearls and pink rosebuds.  The opening of the front has decoupaged flowers and the back has wedding bells which have been carved around.  Front and back openings are trimed in pink with pink beads and gold cording. You will also find flat-backed rhinestones , a tiny pink rose with green leaves and flat-backed opals placed among the decoupaged flowers in front. The top is adorned with a bow and ribbon flowers, pearls cascade down the sides.  You will also find ribbon flowers on the back of the egg.  Three golden swans hold the egg as they sit on a base of corian surrounded by a rose garland. A white plastic base with tiny pink rhinestones finish this egg.

This beautiful Emu egg is painted a very soft sea shell white on the outside and a pale blue on the inside. Fine glitter over the blue gives the feeling of an evening sky with thousands of twinkling stars surrounding the loving couple. Beads of silver and white frame the opening along with silver edging and silver cord.  The silver toned stand sits on a piece of corian that is mounted on a clear plastic stand. Silver braided trim encircles both the corian and plastic stand.  The silver stand has pretty white and silver flowers around the base and you will also find  roses here that I sculpted by hand and painted silver.  A dove and tiny wire hearts with rhinestones are placed with the flowers.  A tiny flatbacked rose sits on the top front of the egg with silver findings on either side and a beautiful CAB teardrop sitting on another silver finding is the finishing touch.  I truly love this egg!  Approximately 10 1/2 inches high.
