| I go to lots of yard sales and thrift shops and once I even put an ad in the paper when I lived up north and one lady brought me 5. They cosst different amounts. If you bowl regularly and know the people who run bowling leey, they might give you chipped ones they throw away. I was never that lucky to find them there though. Good luck!

Thanks again for the welcomes..I'm very excited to be here. Lots of inspiration going on here! I am enjoying looking at everyones projects.They are all so nice. I think I better get busy!

| Welcome to Dave's. It is a most friendly place for gardeners and craftpersons.
Everyone looks like they did excellent work. I need to see if I can find a couple of free bowling balls. One idea I have seen is paint only the top half like a big lady bug and bury the ball in your garden. I really want to do this, now I just need to go to a bowling alley. |

For those of you who have sold/sell them, how much do you get for them (I just found out I no longer have a job..) I'm thinking of getting back to my stained glass and mosaic stepping stones (On a much smaller scale than my Studio was) and making a little roadside stand. These would be a great addition!

Going to see what I can do with them real soon.
I have been to craft shows in the area and a finished ball is going for 35 to 75 dollars. I just do them for myself and friends. Aleta |

Sitting on the seat of a old chair was a bright electric red "undrilled" bowling ball...yeah I stopped and scooped up that puppy. I just walked over to my side flower bed and dropped it there. I am sure she probably saw it and wonders why I saved it. LOL! |

| Any solid orb should do , just make sure you use the correct adhesive.
Styrofoam will melt with the wrong glue/adhesive.
If your project will be outdoors it should also be weather proof adhesive.
If you grout seal it well. .
I have seen the large and cheap plastic Christmas ball ornaments used , the ones you would hang on a tree in the front yard for the Holidays.
Groupings of different size garden balls makes a good display.
Remember ... TAKE PICTURES ! lol

| Call your local bowling alley and see if the have any balls they are throwing away. And if they would take your number if they found some.
Run an add in the paper "looking for free bowling balls, or that you
will donate 2 dollars per ball to the local foodbank for each one. Or what ever good cause for up to (your limit) on the amount of balls you want.
Or offer it to a scool class for a pizza party if they will let you.
You may want to get a note from parent saying it is ok for their kid to bring the ball. And set a limit, because 2 balls versesa pizza party, I would do it. Well if they tried hard..

I just found this forum. I do stained glass & warm glass also, with a little mosiacs. This is my first bowling ball I made last year. It was fun, although it took a little longer than I though it would. Maybe this winter I will get another going. I have two balls just sitting there waiting for me to use them.

I used wood putty to fill the finger holes and all I remember about the adhesive was it was clear silicone from Menard's or Lowe's.
Maybe the next one I will do bugs.. they are too much fun. Or maybe some sort of mixed flowers. I did see a picture once of a mosiac piece that was built on a Manequin and that was very cool, flowers and designs everywhere. If I remember right , very 60's.

There is a stained glass store here in Madison which sells mosaiced bowling balls and there general price is 80 dollors, maybe a little less for some, maybe a little more for others. For me, right now I am just enjoying learning to mosaic and I just absolutely LOVE doing them, and have become addicted! lol But, thought you would like to know what they sell for here in Madison.

| Absolutely fantastic job on your bowling ball, and well worth the $80.00!!
Love it, and it could come reside in my garden any time.
Do you have the address of the store that sells these in Madison?

| The name of the stained glass store in Madison Wisconsin in the Vinery inc. 4317 W. Beltline Hwy I love that place and am planning to take some classes there starting in November.. As for selling my ball, it is my first one and do not think I will sell it, although I will be making more in the future. Anyways, can you see the price to ship a heavy item like that? lol thank you so much for the inquiry. Louella looking forward to seeing more balls here! |

| Louella, that beltline you are talking about must be hwy 151 that goes off of I 90?
Thanks for the info. When and if I get towards Madison, will try and stop and look. My poor eyes.
Am I correct in thinking that you used stained glass instead of ceramic tile to cover you bowling ball?
I purchased two large sacks of very small ceramic tiles thinking to use them on stepping stones, but think I have changed my mind. Got the ceramic tiles at a garage sale. What people don't get rid of!!

| Yes Maxine, it is small, many, many small cut pieces of stained glass. If your pieces are too large they will not lie flat on the ball and will rock. Right now I am working on a purple Iris on a step stool but after that is finished I am going to get out that other ball and make another one. Its all so fun, plus now with winter coming on, my garden will be put to rest, and I will have more time to MOSAIC! Louella |

| I just found this thread, and thought I would share my bowling ball with everyone. The base is 2 6 inch terra cotta pots, glued together, the spray painted silver, like the bowling ball, and some half marbles glued on.
Thanks for looking.

| I used clear silicone caulk as an adhesive and to fill the holes.

| I used GE clear silicone caulk also on the few that I've made. I plugged the holes with aluminum foil scrunched up and stuffed it in there with a screwdriver, then put silicone on top of that . You can probably use grout to fill it in, or cement too, for that matter. Just make sure they are dry.
I want to try a mosaic too as soon as I learn how to cut the pieces into squares.
Here is one that I like with marbles, glass flowers from the dollar store and I did not grout this one.
