I kept trying to draw an image of a full frontal face pic of a parrot, but just couldn't quite get it right. If someone could draw it on their ball and paint it I think that would be cute.

That's very unique, I like the design but not the color combo.

Robin: Your gazing ball is so beautiful! I love the colors and that iridescent glitter adds the perfect finishing touch!

Becky: Whoever made the one you found the photo of online did a great job, very cool! I'm thinking I'd like to make a Lady Bug like the ones in the second photo on this page:

Becky: I don't know why that link isn't working anymore, I just found it yesterday. Scroll down this page, 4th row, 2nd picture - a Bowling Ball named "Miss Majorie". I love the red hat and the earrings and I just might have to use one of my old bowling balls for something like this!

The stones or marbles came from a friend and so
the ball when do went home with them.

Oh my goodness ... those are all so cool! I thought about covering one with pennies or marbles but never have gotten around to it. I really love the one that you said someone walked off with and the one with the marbles is awesome, so colorful. I laughed out loud when I saw the one with the roofing nails, with the nails sticking out of only half, it looks like a punk hairdo!

Great job ... you are very creative!
