Ball #33

Here is another attempt at painting on the reverse side of a large clear glass marble. This time it is my trademark mushroom. I've been doing these since junior high with little variation. (and even less artistic talent!!!) Anyhow, this ball came from one of my cousins who has no idea how it arrived at his house. It was deep green, my favorite color, so I covered it with red and white flowers, large painted mushrooms, and small clear with dark green cat eyes. My friend saw a picture of this ball and said she liked it, so I sent it to her as a Christmas/birthday present.

Ball #32

Here's the sixth of six balls I received from the Baptist Church. It was maroon and I covered it with small clear, small brushed and small clear with white cat eye. Also, I used large clear and painted tulips on the flat back side. You can tell my painting is very primitive, but I enjoyed trying something different. I used paint made especially for painting on glass. This ball spent the summer at a nursery in 2007 but didn't sell. Since then it has been in it's carrier in my front room, waiting for me to do something with it. The painted pieces didn't hold up well in the weather, so I don't feel right about trying to sell it as a garden ornament.

May 26, 2009 - This ball is now marking the burial site of our beloved girl cat Cammie.
