Ok, back to recycling! I just remembered that Jannich began this thread about recycling. I will post my flower photo's on the OT/Off Topic thread a little later.

This is a recycle project I saw on the DG craft forum a couple of years ago and thought it was so cool. Some of the ladies made some wonderful creations, covering bowling balls with flower pictures, mosaic tile, pennies, colored marbles, cut glass, mirror chips. They were really beautiful and I had to try it. My friend's son in law gave me an old bowling ball, so I cut flower pic's from magazines to cover it. It's getting pretty worn and faded from the weather and I noticed last week a couple of pic's have completely worn away. I didn't seal it right when I first did it, should have sprayed it with the clear coat more than I did. It was my first attempt and I need to make a new one and take my time. I'd like to do one in bits of mirrored glass.
