As some of the glass pieces have a larger visual area, I love the
idea of using fabric.
I'll show the ball before and after the grout to show the difference when
I get to that stage so you can see the change that is made. It doesn't dull
the effect, but rather add to it. But then again, I do see your point, if you
used the wrong color grout it could make or break the project.
Yep, just plain old ordinary grout. I think I'll use something complimentary
to the copper, because I have a bad habit of using black grout. I'd love to
use some of the new grout that is glow in the dark. Wouldn't that be cool?
They also have shiny copper, gold, silver, etc. which I may entertain as well.
Just got home from dinner, so will work on the ball some more as I work
on the computer.
*HELPFUL HINT* Instead of gluing on one piece at a time, set out
a number of pieces on your work surface, spread a bit of glue
on the ball and attach the pieces you've already selected. This
eliminates the pick one, glue one routine. Unless you have nothing
better to do and don't mind additional glue sniffing time. LOL.

Picture shows the progress on the bowling ball. Now about 8" x 6" has
been covered. A long way to go.
