Talk about recycling. These were orginally bowling balls, but now they are garden orbs. Can withstand rain and sun. Painted and sealed. They can sit upon rocks, flower pots, bird baths or a metal stand. The skies the limit. Be creative and bold. They will be on display at Studio B’s art reception at Brecksville Center of the Arts the month of April.

Very creative idea!!!
I love the colors and would like to try it myself. I live in wisconsin and not sure what type of paint and sealer is needed.
Thank you for the compliment. You can use spray paint for plastic for the base coat, then I use acrylic paint with a brush to make them swirl like marbles. I paint them around and around until it looks like a marble. I use an outside varnish to seal them, but varnish for boats would be better. Make sure each coat of paint dries thoroughly. You’ll have to take it in for the winter. I usually put them up on bird stands or build rocks up around them. Have fun with it. Thanks for asking.
