I havent sprayed it with a final coat or anything yet.
I really like it! :)
You like it?
i want to make another one so bad---but i have laundry n kids to take care of
Maybe tonight again- i really enjoyed it!!!
another shot of it
How cool is that!!! Nice Dori.
That is really nice Dori. I like it. You're so talented!! Where are you going to display it?
THANKS you gals!
I used mod podge from Joann Fabric or any craft store
then you spray with an acrylic sealer! They can go out in the garden after this!! :)

Dori those are just beautiful !! you should make a bunch of them and then sell them I'm sure thay would sell like hot cakes I want one!!!!!!!!!!

What a cool idea! I don't have any bowling balls lying around, lol. And you could most definitely sell them at a craft sale or summer plant swap meet!
Very cool! I have a bowling ball that I was going to mosaic, but I just can't find the time to invest. I'll have time for this!!!

Save all of your old bowling balls. I am making a necklace for the Statue of Liberty. (grins-grins)

Wouldnt she look pretty!! That was so funny!!
LOL gary! I went to the bowling alleys here in town and got over 22 balls a few yrs ago
I gave a few away , made a few with gems and now im doing these. So i could make Ms. Liberty a matching bracelet !!! he he eeeeeeeeee
Im going to make several just cuz its fun-then may trade them or give them or sell them!!!
its just relaxing!!!
hay Dori pick me I just dont seem to have an artistic bone in my body and just love that kind of stuff LOL

What a great idea! I have an old gazing ball in the yard that a bird pecked all the paint off while attacking his reflection. Now it is a see-thru gazing ball! I think your idea with the bowling ball would work great for this! Thanks for the picture and instructions!
good job dori!
sweet revenge on the gazing ball thiefs when they try to
lug these away and their BALLS fall to the ground instead. lol
sher
i love how pretty they are
i made more LOL to cold to do much this weekend-so this is what i worked on!
daylilies
and my all time favorite so far!
Dor!
Where are you storing these beauties? Be careful they don't get stolen!
And, maybe its time to shore up your floors so you all don't go roaring
down the basement, tubs,stoves, tv and people and balls....
Mighty pretty stuff! I do love that garden path one. good job!
sher
Hey cool idea!! People are always laughing at me cause I have about 12 bowling balls in a pile in the middle of my garden. i have never got around to doing anything with them! this Dori is VERY creative indeed!!
Thanks for the view!!

Dori, simply GREAT use of an old bowling ball.
Do you also quilt? I notice the precision you used in placing your pictures together.
GREAT JOB!

Super looking Dori!!!! Very nice.
i spray them with acrylic sealer that says they should be ok outside-we will find out when spring gets here!!
