Pennies in the Garden

I finally finished my alternative gazing ball this weekend -- a bowling ball covered in pennies.  Here it is!


I set it just inside my pedestrian gate -- you can see it from both sides of the fence.  Sort of fun.

I saw on Pinterest this weekend another idea for re-purposing bowling balls -- painting them to look like ladybugs:

I have another second hand bowling ball, but for now it will just be waiting in the garden shed...

Hi! I used a tube of Marine glue that I bought in the paint department of Home Depot. Here's the in-progress post about this project, in case you didn't see it. Thanks for stopping by!
