ROSE EGG
    I grow roses in my front yard.  I have lots of miniature roses.  Got the idea back in 2011 to collect rose buds, dry them, and cover an egg with them.  Actually took me 2 years to get enough of the "right" rose buds. You have to collect them just as they're open, but not too much.  Took longer than I thought, (and messier) to cover a large Styrofoam egg, then add a few pearl headed pins for shimmer, then a light coat of varnish.  Weird enough, it still smells of roses.  Kinda of a one of a kind
