I have not posted in quite awhile. We have moved and at my age that is no easy trick!! We are working on this new landscape--more pictures will follow. This is my latest ball-I got the curvy glass gems at the Dollar Tree. I had to do it. Enjoy Jlily

What a riot! I love the "hairy" look.
What is your base? Is it a bowling ball?

I love it! Very nice colors (they are my favorite :-)

I have some of those long glass pieces and they never quite fit flat on my objects. I never thought of gluing them outward!!! Thank you. Gives me lots of ideas!

The base for the ball is a light globe-which did not let enough light through it. I'm glad you are enjoying it. It was fun to do. I tape the "hairs" until they are dry. Jlily

What an awesome debut back on the forum! Good to see you back and in fine form! What a cool idea to glue those squiggles on so they go outward. I would have never thought of doing that. TFS and keep those great projects coming!

Thank you all-so much for the encouragement. Our yard is a real work in progress. So, it is keeping me busy with basic projects. But, I am enjoying it too. Jlily
