Those are beautiful happgarden and you did just fine. Please do post photo's of your work and WELCOME to ATP

I'm late to this discussion, must offer a fresh WOW! So, WOW! Enjoyed seeing the creations here very much!

Tiffany. I appreciate it! I haven't had much time for art for a while, but things are slowing down again and I hope to get back to creating.

I gather such great ideas here........so wanted to share my bowling ball. Still need to do some touch up and a clear coat but anyway....


My Dad loves smiley faces so this yard art is planned to be his Christmas Gift.

Lynne

Oh, your beautiful bowling ball just makes me SMILE

Thanks for showing us

Great job, and your Dad is going to LOVE his Christmas gift! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your positive comments.
I love giving garden art type gifts.

Me too, and I love to get hand made gifts. They're the best! Be sure to post your next garden art project!

Just beautiful.

@LynneHTx Love your smiley face. I have a question. What kind of paint did you use? Also did you have to sand the bowling ball first or do anything else to it before you painted it? I have several bowling balls and would like to paint some of them. Thanks for sharing.

@gardenglassgems I sanded the bowling ball and wiped with something (probably alcohol or mineral spirits) to remove the grease. I plugged the two finger holes....first packing with foil, then pouring in epoxy. I sanded it smooth (you could just leave those holes). I painted with Rustoleum gloss sunburst yellow and black.

Thanks Lynn. Some day I plan to give it a try. I will post here when I do. Maybe a project for this winter.
