We love shaving cream art and coffee filters around here, but the eggshell mosaic is awesome! I happen to have some eggshells hanging around, I might just have to try it!
I totally agree Lindsey! The egg shell mosaics are amazing! Thanks for sharing your fun blot art. We love process art. It looks like your little guy was having a blast!
