Crash glass is one of my favorite mediums. The ball itself is black, the glass was painted then broken, all but the yellow. I had used it all on a mirror and skonces so I had to paint the yellow and use clear. I am planning on grouting in black and hoping to get the effect I am looking for. Hope to finish next week.

But if I were to do anything at all to it, it might be to do something with the long silver tube down the middle. Those curvy arms are great for hanging bling off of, like prisms or draping strands of tinsel or garlands of greens or berries in the winter or spring flowers in the spring, to maybe decorate it for the seasons. I really like it!

Just wanted to let you know I'm cleaning up my gardens a little bit at a time. it feels so weird because we are getting gorgeous weather AGAIN. Cutting back and cleaning up. IT will be good to get some of it done and then work on leaves that start coming down but are not all the way down until mid December.
