Spring Exchange Done & Failed. Pic Inside

18 years ago

You know, I really should take up listening one of these days. So I THOUGHT I had this "Spring Exchange Ball Thing" all sewn up, and then I came back and for whatever reason, it sunk in this time. It's not just a "Spring" (ie: we just did a winter-one, and now this one is scheduled for March...) thing, it's a Spring Themed, 6" or Less ball thing. Well, you get to see the original Plan C...It's obviously nowhere near "Spring Themed," nor is it 6" or less (it's about the size of a basketball- and I had "hand measured it" to be "about 6 inches")...but it goes in the garden, would that have counted? Schucks.

Oh well, here's the first crack at it. Guess I'll go back to my table and work up something else.

    well, it has spring-y colors..sort of. Can't put a spin on the size, though!!

    Pretty, I like it! You have a jump on your spring garden ornaments!!

    Ok, how about (Tribute to Bama):
    "Bozo Threw Up All Over My Garden Orb" -Orb...

    I'm liking this abstract thing...I'll go smaller. I won't show you the next one, though.

    Nope, flash pulled a fast one on ya. That'd be "Midnight Black" by Laticrete, and is actually VERY black, except I guess when a flash bounces off it.

    Well, I do love the colors you used on it. Looks good on that stand too!

    Thanks! These would be the Gawdawful Gold-glitterball ornaments that "no one in their right mind" would buy after Christmas at WM, as well as those hideous pilar-candle stands-of-varying-heights that the same "of not quite sound mind" person would choose to take home.
    Alas, I slumped and became "that" person this year! HA!
    (Wonder how much I'd have to pay for this at a garden center...I bet a heckuva lot more than the $3.75 + materials that I paid for this one!

  • 18 years ago

    Well you l'il heifer - that's downright BEAUTIFUL. 'fraid I'm guilty of having some candles on those stands, BUT it looks good in my Saudi/gaudi house. OH YES, you'd pay a purdy penny for this number in a garden center. I LOVE it. You didn't say what material the gold glitter ball IS. Glass???? Good mosaicing.

  • 18 years ago

    Those colours all say "spring"! It will look great in your garden, it would have looked great in mine too.

  • 18 years ago

    Saudi/gaudi LOL, now theres useful new phrase... I happen to love that look I just had no words until now to describe it

  • 18 years ago

    Spring colors for sure...size for exchange NOT...but you already figured that out huh??!! LOL dont cha just hate it when you think you've got a grasp on things only to find out what you grabbed was soft and gooey and kinda smelled bad??!!

    Its a great ball anyhow and looks really good on that candlestick holder.

    Saudi/gaudi? Slow you have nothing of the sort!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Ho ho ho, Chickee - you should see my house decor. Looks like something out of "NIghts of Arabia".

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, that's nice! Too bad you can't use it in the exchange, ... but then again, I'm not in the exchange, soooooo ;)

  • 18 years ago

    slow, please give us a virtual tour..I've been curious for quite some time...
    I know we would love to see the decor...purdy pleeze...

    ;(*_*);

    Well, I think it says SPRING! It's very pretty and would sure look good in my white frozen tundra, aka my backyard!
    I really like that blue mirror!

  • 18 years ago

    Plastic ball, and oh-so-sorry about the reference to the "hideous" stands. I'm not into ornate, but it works for a lot of people (cuz they know how to decorate with it to make it look nice without it screaming "Castle De Font- Leroy.") There were SOOOOO many of these left over after Christmas.
    And it worked for this piece. I think I'll make more! (Yeah, you only buy one or two of something, then realize you should've bought more, and now they're all MIA- shoot. Guess I'll go hit up the bowling alleys.)

  • 18 years ago

    No offense taken - I like crazy decorating. SEA - you'll just have to come for a visit.

  • 18 years ago

    It has spring colors in it. I almost did the same thing - mine was going to be done in sparklie black, green, purple with mirror - and I thought "dang that isn't spring-like" so I had to rethink it.

  • 18 years ago

    That will look great in your garden. I have my idea what i'm going to try and do on mine. But been sick so now feeling better i can go play. Those are spring colors also.

  • 18 years ago

    That is pretty; you now have something new to add to your garden or a gift ahead of time. Two good positive things. And I love the stand. That looks great with the ball and I bet they look great with candles. Slow, if your "crazy" decorating is like your mosaics, your house should probably be featured in an interior design magazine.
