Description
Well, of course, there's a story with this!! I went to a BBQ at a friend's last summer and she had all these great mosaic spheres around her patio. Turned out they were BOWLING BALLS and she'd gone to the dollar store, bought bags of those little glass pieces and created these wonders. I ooohed and aaahed over them. When it came time to leave, she gave me a party favor--this bowling ball!!! And yes, I WILL do the same thing, one of these days. Till then, well, just another one of those weird little treasures I have all over the place!!

How cool is this?! I get it...you go to the homes of your friends/relatives to help them get organized, declutter, clean up, throw out, etc., ...then you get to bring something precious home and add it to your collection. Who do you call???

LOL! Why am I not at all surprised? And besides their obvious beauty as sculptures they could come in very handy as weapons of defense OR attack!

So how are the spheres displayed? Hanging? on some sort of stand or embedded in the dirt. And what was used to adhere the glass to it? I have thought of this before but couldn't get past the many decisions to make before starting.

Talk about a hole in one...but that's a different sport. Actually, I don't have a front yard; a patio, yes, but that's about it. Stellar reflective lighting effects to bring out the pearly textures on the bowling ball, Maz. Looks like it was rolled down the alleys a ton of times.

great! I don't know anyone else with a bowling ball in their yard either---this is so typical of the wonderful menagerie you have in your life. It's such a neat concept, and it's a cool photo too. Your place & your friends' places feel like art-galleries-of-life, it's but one reason your offerings here are so great. "Bowl on, duuuuuude!" (Yeah, I had a friend who said that alot.) I love this shot.
