Marvellous Marbling

Give every member of your family a beautifully marbled egg - each one will be unique and they will also make an original Easter table decoration
What you need:

Six eggs (white or duck eggs if possible)
Large and small mixing bowls
Various food colourings
White vinegar
Olive oil
Warm water

What to do:
1. Hard boil six eggs and leave to cool (TIP: If you prefer, you can blow the eggs. Place tape over each end of egg and pierce with a sharp needle. Ensure needle pierces yolk and blow contents of the egg out. Then gently rinse the shells and leave to dry)
2. For base colours: Mix together 1.5 pints of warm water, 2 tbsp of white vinegar and a few drops of food colouring (Make sure your bowl is deep enough for water to completely cover the egg)
3. Place your egg in dye and leave it submerged until the colour has deepened
4. For top colour: In a wide shallow bowl, mix a second batch of dye in a complementary colour or darker shade. The liquid should be about 2.5cm (1") deep
5. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to dye
6. Stir dye with a fork to create movement in the mixture
7. As liquid swirls, place your dyed egg in the mixture and roll it around to pick up streaks
8. Gently pat egg dry with kitchen paper and leave to dry
