Those are nice. You must be very patient to glue all those stones into place!

How pretty Craft. How on earth did you plan those designs out so they fit the bowling balls?
I gave up on that and just painted mine.

I sure do like the one on the plant stand.You must have the patience of steel.The first one is so pretty too but the second one is a work of art.

Jen - that is lovely - I want.
I especially like the little tripod - it somehow lends an air of mystery to the ball.

Thanks so much. The top one is flat marbles glued over some flashing tape. The second one is the first bowling ball I ever did. I started with the flower in the center and then the design just happened all by itself. I lucked out. lol I haven't grouted any of the bb's yet, because it is not my favorite thing to do. I'm not going to grout the top one though.

I don't think I would grout them either. They look great just the way they are.

I bought the flashing tape at Lowes. It looks like duck tape, but has a backing on it that you peel off.
