Ball #76

Another Catholic ball - this time a blue swirl. I liked the nickel shimmer so much I painted this one with it also. It is covered with amber iridescent butterflies, large and small peach, small amber iridescent, and clear iridescent with white cat eye.

Ball #75

This ball also came from the Catholic Church's rummage sale in October 2009. It was red and I painted it with nickel shimmer from Krylon - a really nice color! It is covered with lavender, purple, purple iridescent, and green iridescent in concentric circles, with several lines of mini lavender interspersed. I gave it to the pastor of my mother and sister's church, who had admired the various balls I put into the silent auctions. She likes gardening, so hopefully will use the ball in her garden.

Ball #74

This ball came from the Catholic Church's rummage sale in October 2009. It was blue & red swirl and I covered it in large round cobalt, small cobalt, and small clear with periwinkle cat eye. I gave it to my friend in honor of her 50th birthday.

Ball #73

Another ball from my friend's son. This one looked like a bowling alley ball, black with turquoise, and I painted it creamy white. I covered it with a new color I found at Michael's - opaque peach (they called it pink), orange metallic, and clear with orange cat eye in concentric circles.

Ball #72

This ball came from my friend's son. It was black and I painted it green and decorated it with large green round & light green flowers, small deep green, small green iridescent, plum with cat eye and clear iridescent with white cat eye. This ball was given to a church friend who found 2 balls for me and she placed it in her garden.

Ball #71

This ball came from Mom's neighbor. He is also a member of her church and donated the ball for me to decorate and put into Mom's silent auction for the hospice. It was black and I painted it cream white and covered it with clear with light orange cat eye, clear with dark orange cat eye and orange iridescent. Mom bought it, so now she has 4 of my balls - three in her sun room and one in her dining room. (My parents are my best customers!)

Ball #70

I finally had a photo shoot this AM and photographed all the completed balls to date. This ball is another find by my friend's truck-driving son. It was blue and I decorated it with large marine mix and small clear. This ball was given to my nephew and his family for Christmas 2010.
