Mosaic Gazing Ball

This is my first mosaic 3-D project and I had so much fun doing it! I made this for my mom because she loves to garden and I thought her garden needed an accessory. I think with all the various colors, it will blend/accent it nicely. Enjoy!
Enjoyed the project?

Bowling balls will work. My husband and I did several. Eventually the weather will break down the grout, but the gazing ball should last at least 7-8 years.

Hi..I used to do bowling balls until they got too heavy for me. Now I use ceiling light globes,different sizes,different effects. I use clear silicone adhesive, seems to hold in all kinds of weather forever. I personally did not use grout on my bowling balls..I found it got dirty,and the little amount of the bowling ball that actually showed was not a big deal. But..the gem's on a bowling ball made it twice as heavy! But fun! I also had a challenge getting bowling balls back then, even the alleys didn't have enough!
