Marbled Easter Eggs {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because some times all you need is the photo. Mind you this is not one of those times! But these beautiful marbled Easter eggs were made by Sam at our local Waldorf school, and they are simply too beautiful not to share. The instructions are simple. Hollow out an egg, wet…
