Nautical Ball (bb) for pool garden

18 years ago

Hey, you GJer's get me in more messes! This is my first (and probably last) BB project ... NO, you'll NOT see beautiful mosaics, pennies, collage, or critter BB's! I don't know how you talented people do it! (notice, I used the word, "probably!")

It took 2 pair of hands (the ball kept rolling).. and the silicone II... my DH (who I know is thinking, what will the GJ site do to her next???) ... anyway, remember the waterwheel...well, this is to add to that vignette. Just plain ol' "haymow rope"... looks a bit like a"acorn" cause I had to use some new rope also...but it will "weather" quickly!

Also got a $2 GS bargain "mermaid" made of terra cotte that I spray-painted copper ...will incorporate her somehow. And I'm afraid I added another "glass piece" (75 cents) to my garden shed for future ideas forming in my head for totems (eh gads!)

Will share a finished? pic of this nautical vignette when all is dry (both silicone and rain!) Jeanne S.

What a cool idea! Looks great. My little kittles would love to get their claws in that rope tho so I probably won't be doing it here. Can't wait to see the whole vignette!

Very unique! I've never seen a bb done with rope before! I'm looking forward to our great state drying out so that we can see your entire vignette!

Be Safe, Rach

I love that waterwheel! I haven't seen it yet. I am sorry that I need to ask when others probably know, but did you make that??? IT is beautiful.

Love the bowling ball rolled up with rope! What a cool idea! And I always admired that waterwheel. Love the sun face on your shed. Please post a pic of the mermaid when she is finished!

The BB looks great with the rope around it!! I might steal that idea(-: I have several BB's I need to do something with. I also like the bobber one. So many ideas on here. I love this place(-:
