I'm one of those sick puppies too, and don't "enna" want to change.
This one for my Daughter


Went to carpet store today to help my Brother and was given Tumbles Stone samples and somehow I just may try some of the smaller ones on a B.ball

Bt waittttttttttttt, getting ahead of myself again....was planning to do a stain glass & mirror mix. What to do, what to do...
Well, it's obvious if I keep sitting here, I'll do nothing.....but loving it.
Love & hugs!

SCORE on the tiles

Love the ball!

Thank you Vic.

Do both of the balls....
I'm not even doing a bowling ball...don't have one and my current gardening space isn't large enough.

But I AM working on a ball of a different nature.

Guarantee you no one will have a ball like mine

I can't wait to see, Vic!

Me too!

I am lost here sometimes with 2 threads about decorating balls for the garden...I think I need another nap today.

I'm afraid I'll miss something if I nap, Boo.

Me too but Vic and I wore ourselves out...over kill...on Sunday afternoon. YAWNING!

Oh, I would be in 7th heaven if I would get a lot of sample tiles. I priced them at Lowe's and just a small amount cost way too much. I went into a carpet/tile store, Chinese man owned it and I surely couldn't understand his English. He looked at me as though I had lost my mind. Will try another store where English is well understood.

Not going to be able to work on my BB tomorrow, we are going visiting and my friend doesn't do any crafts anymore or garden work. Just can't get her interested in gardening and she had to give up crafts because of arthritis in her hands.

What 2 threads about decorating balls for the garden?
Pegi, I sympathize with your friend, Mr. Arthur is in my fingers and getting worse daily.

Oh, don't get too excited. It won't be anything to write home about. It WILL be useful though

Right now, the little I've done doesn't look very good, maybe after I finish it up and grout it I'll be more satisfied. My SIL asked me if I did anything with the BB's and now the next time she asks I can send her a picture of it.

We have the monthly challenge which is, for August, to decorate any ball you want. A lot of people are doing bowling balls.

This is the link: The thread "August Challenge ~ Create-a-ball" in Garden Art forum

Instead of tiles could you use stone chips? Some wholesalers here will let you take the chips from their landscape rock piles for FREE and there are some prettiful colours and some that are swirly and quartz and mica are sparkly. Gotta luv those guys or you can smash a prettiful rock with a sledge hammer to make chips (good stress reliever too )

I guess I gotta find a rock to smash today then.

dahlianut , tumble those rocks or chips and you will have treasures.
Thank you Becky, I probably need to get started if I'm going to get the Aug. ball done.

Thanks dahtzu. I've always wanted to do that

Hope I can finish up my ball by the end of August. At least I started, big step for me. I'm thinking about decoupaging a BB sometime. I remember my mother thinning out Elmer's glue with water and using that as a medium for her decoupage. Don't think she used it for anything outside though, wasn't into garden art too much at that time.
