Holy cow, that's a huge picture, sorry! Here's another shot, can you see the Easter snickers wrapper in there?? :)

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:144877}}

Yes I see the wrapper that is very nice !

Beautiful!!! Good Job! I have grouted and not liked the color...so did a paint wash over the grout, with watered down craft paint(acrylic)and it works great to change the color...and your imagination/possibilities/color choices are endless!

What did you use for glass, can you explain wrappers? It looks very unique! I bet that will sparkle in the garden!
I had two bowling balls for the longest time and did not do anything with them. I was going to do as you ladies, but somehow the notion left my head and got rid of the balls. But, I hear you can go to the bowling alley and get balls they are going to retire. Now I wish I did not get rid of them.

Very pretty kelly_oh! You will have to explain how you made them. I thought it was some cool glass until you mentioned the Snickers wrappers. Now I'm intrigued!

LOVE the colors! It's going to be so sparkly outside in the sunshine.

Very nice. Great job. It does sparkle!! I'm interested in the snickers too. Please give info.TFS.

thank you, thank you. I have to give the credit to nanatricia, she posted one quite awhile ago that I just fell in love with, I tried to find it, but it looks like the link to the picture is broken. Anyway, its a bowling ball, I took candy wrappers -foil type ones, and oreo and nutter butter lunch pack wrappers :), though on another one I'm working on, I discovered that gum wrappers are a dream - siliconed them down on the ball, took safety glass (courtesy of my Mom breaking her patio table as she got it out this Spring) and siliconed that over the wrappers, then grouted it. One thing I did discover, if you find you have a loose piece of glass, its very worth your time to go back and re-silicone it, don't expect the grout to hold it there - it won't. I still need to seal it, then I'll put it out in the sun and watch it sparkle!! Before I give it to my cousin ;)

Looks great Kelly! Glad to see your work here. Hope to see you at the swap Saturday!

That is so sparkly and I love sparkly, you did a great job on the ball and a great job on the instructions. I want to do a red, white and blue one, but not sure what I will use for the color yet. Thanks for sharing.

Mimi, I thought I already missed it!!! Though I am going to have to miss it, I seem to have aquired myself a BF and I'm supposed to help him finish his moving and cleaning this coming weekend. hmpf, men. :)
Frou, buy some of the lunch pack mixed cookies, with nutter butters and oreos - there's your shiny red and blue or rice krispie treats are a light blue and either dollar store aluminium foil or wrigleys silver gum wrappers would be perfect!!!

what a great idea. I just acquired some safety glass but its smokey so i don't think foil will show thru. I'll have to experiment.
