ball which was already prepared with the holes plugged, filled
and sanded over.
The interesting thing is, the ball was once painted copper for
another project, then when I sanded a bit of it, spots of yet
another color showed through from previous paint, as well as
the color of the bowling ball itself.
Then, when I used Bond 527 cement to adhere the pieces to
the ball, it sort of ate the paint, which is alright with me, as it
produced a swirly design in the colors on the ball.
Slowly but surely I began gluing the pieces about the ball. Nothing
fancy, not trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle. After all, I'll want
to leave room for some grout to show, so basically I just stuck pieces
here and there. Had to quit last night due to lack of proper lighting.
This morning I picked up a few more sections and will let it dry while
I have dinner with my parents.
