A place for the bowling ball garden orb

Garden Art ideas

Looking at our photos here I was struck (wham!) with an idea for where to place my bowling ball. Remember this old rusty peacock plant holder….well…  What do you all think?

Take one decorated bowling ball..

    I have to comment on this as I, too, have a bowling ball in my garden. But, instead of covering it with glass beads (what an awesome idea), I bought some shiny spray paint and created a gazing ball. This was done several years ago when I rescued this thing from someone’s garbage (did I just admit to that?). It still gets an annual paint job to spruce it up a bit.

    Thanks for the inspiration. Now I’ll know what to do with the next ball I find.
