Thanks for stopping by Kathleen and leaving a comment! It made my day. Blues always make me smile.

I use Rust-oleum spray sealer. That being said, it won’t make it last forever out in the elements, but it’s so easy and gives a great shine. If you’re looking for protection, you should use a marine varnish. However, it does yellow a little and you have to brush it on. I’ve used both and would definitely prefer the spray sealer.

Ohhh, have fun Kyra! I hope you love it!

really? My original gazing ball (linked to in the top of this post) has faded and the designs I applied have faded and peeled, but the bowling ball is still fine. 🙂

Splitting sounds cool with the hens and chicks and or moss.

I’ve had several over the years. After a while, if left outside, they will actually split open. However, at that point, they look really cool with hens and chicks or other sedums tucked into the splits.

I’ve seen those ladybug ones! Hope you get a good deal on some new bowling balls for gazing.
