Great execution on the disco ball! Love it!

Reminded me of one of my favorite movies... "Foul Play" - written directed by Colin Higgins (RIP)

I finally did it! I finished my Aug. Ball s .

I have pic.s from beginning to end in a folder , but it will take so much space to post.

Want to post folder instead of individual pics. If it can be done, you can do it!

In the beginning Ball:

This is no problem if using thick glass.

Put Silicone on glass piece.

Mix per box instructions.

Now, Clean up time!

No job is complete until the clean-up is done!

Beautiful balls!. Good idea using cork in the finger holes, never would have thought of that. Love all the stands, think I'm with Vi on this one too. I didn't get to grout mine today, end of August is creeping up on me. DH went to doctor and wouldn't you know it was one of those waiting forever appointments. So hot and tired by the time we got home I didn't even get on the computer!!

I really liked the beginning of the ball to the end, great instructions.

♥ ♥ ♥ the tall stand! First time I've used the new feature ...thought your instructions deserved it and gave them a

Fantastic idea to use the 'stem' of the broken gazing ball and the "parfum" top is perfect! AND I was so happy to actually see the dragonfly in the "clean up" shots. I could see the wings at the bottom of your first photo and was wondering what it was. So....what is it? Solar? Did you make it? Inquiring minds want to know!

Your ball s are just beautiful.
