The jack o lantern should be very cool! I haven't mosaiced with glass globs yet. When I mosaiced by bowling ball, I scored it first and used tile adhesive which is very gooey and sticky. I have heard of other people painting their BB first too which I would think would give the adhesive something to latch onto. Be sure to post a picture of your BB when it's done!

This is a buoy ball that I made into a pumpkin a few years back. Everything is glued on and was fast to make. It has since turned into a gold glitter ball:-)

What so you use to hold the foil on? Thanks...

I just use the same GEII that I use on the marbles. I tear the foil into squares that are roughly 4" and I put a bead of silicone around the edge of the dull side, and then do a squiggly line of it in the middle.
I overlap the edges a bit, so water doesn't get under the foil.
The ONLY time the foil has ever come off one of my balls is when some teenagers rolled it down the block.
I've made over a dozen balls this way. Once I made my own eeeeverybody wanted one.
One even has a bolt epoxied in the finger hole and is chained down, because I had one stolen once.
I love your pumpkin jo, he has a lot of character.

Sorry I posted in the other post didn't see this. Do you leave it out allwinter? I figure if it works for you in zone 4 it will work for me in zone 5.

I leave my balls out and have never had a problem. Some recommend making sure the holes are facing down because if water gets in them, it will crack the ball when it freezes but I've never had an issue with water.

cool! You mentioned Copper Foil. I did get some thin Copper in a roll at Hobby Lobby. I haven't used it yet but thought I would cut in small pieces and glue it on.

You can use foil tape to cover it with You can get it at big stores It has sticky tape on it and you would not have to use the glue .I have used it on alot of mosaics.I also use it to back of half marbles .Just make shure when you buy that it is silver on both sides because there is one that is white .
I have used candie wrappers.I make every one save them for me.i do not like cheap cholate but they have some pretty wrappers.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:192369}}

Is the copper foil as thin as aluminum foil?? my concern would be that it would be harder to form it to the ball's curves.

I may have to go searching the candy aisle for some orange wrappers for my pumpkin.
I love the idea of doubling up on the color... I have orange marbles, but it would add a ton of color to have orange wrappers beneath.

I have some foil tape.. but my concern with the it is that the adhesive will let go since I don't grout my balls.
