Ball #98

I am pretty sure that this is another ball that came from my friend's son. (See what happens when I don't make notes immediately?) This ball was an orange swirl so I covered it with peach clear, peach beach, peach oblong, orange iridescent, mini amber and mini clear in concentric circles and flower power. It also has three amber fish.

Ball #97




I can't remember where I got this ball, but I think it was from my friend's son. It was a lovely silvery blue color. I found a marble mix that included mini opaque silver, clear mini, and clear mini with sparkles. I combined them with some small and large opaque white marbles that had some veins of greyish blue. The design was concentric circles. I think of it as the "Polar Ball". It was donated to the Rotary for their golf tournament. (It also kind of looks like a giant golf ball. Hopefully whoever wins it will enjoy it.

Ball #94



This ball came from one of Dad's Rotarians in July 2010. It was black and I painted it yellow. It is decorated in concentric rows of clear with yellow cat eye and translucent cornflower blue. It was given back to the donor in thanks, since he had given me several other balls a few years ago. May 16, 2011 update: Given to a Rotarian for his neighbor, who gave me 5 balls.

Ball #93




This ball came from a church rummage sale. It was deep green and I decorated it in "daisy" flower power. The daisies are opaque white with opaque yellow centers. The background fill is various shades of green. There are occasional highlights of bottle glass with a green cat eye. This ball went to a church bazaar and was purchased by Mom for her garden in July 2010.

Ball #92




This ball came from a church rummage sale. It was black and I painted it navy. It is decorated with cobalt stars, large cobalt rounds, opaque periwinkle and clear with a periwinkle cat eye. I sold it at a church craft bazaar in July 2010.
