WOW! Love the detail and natural look of your BB! And, if needed, it would make a great weapon! haha! Wonderful colors! I know it took a lot of work! Great job!

Love.....love....love it !! I like the natural look of it.

Also live in Iowa, NW to be exact. Where are you at??

Hey, another IOWAN LOVES IT!!! Great job! I did one with hay mow rope...don't know if you'd call it "natural looking" or not...like yours! I would enjoy doing a granite one if it turns out like yours! Jeanne S.

Wow, my husband and I are always collecting interesting bits of rock in our travels--that would be a wonderful way to put them to use!

Thanks for the idea.

Love the granite, the rocks are so interesting & coloring too. i see a face in that light colored 1 almost center but to left. Wish we had pretty rocks. When we moved into our new home we had lots of rocks- 2 wheelborrows full, DH "planted" them deep in center of yard, I've actually tried finding them!!!! They are probably dull. No granite here. Love all the pics, never would have thought of rope either!! Love all the ideas! Jan

sunnyca, I know exactly which stone you are talking about! lol! It almost looks like a skeleten's face.

Monarae, love the stone bowling ball! That sure looks like a lot of work. I have to take my hat off to you because I wouldn't have attempted it. You did a wonderful job covering the ball with all the different size rocks. Looks fantastic (but then I have a weakness for rocks)!

JeanneS, I really love your rope ball too!

Thanks everyone! Ya - this one took awhile. I love the rope idea too! I will post a pic of the one with tiny polished rocks. That one even took longer. I took this idea a bit farther. I have a set of old lamps that I have never used. I covered the base with the tiny rocks, and added a leather lamp shade. It turned out great! Hubby just shakes his head at me, but agrees that he even likes them.
hhmm....I have another old lamp that would look pretty cool with the rope....

Thanks!

(and HEY to the other IOWANS here!)

I love it...gave me ideas !!

I used out door clear silicone. It has been outside for 3 years, and has not dropped a rock yet!

MonaRae

I love it too! All us Iowan's have great taste and great ideas!!!

I love rocks and that is really a great way to use them in the garden. Wonderful idea, thanks for sharing it.

hugs, Karen

Good looking BB's, both of them! There's no cool rocks around here, unless you happen to find some nice petrified wood or some fossils :)
