LOL! I like the idea of just creating rings around the ball instead of trying to be artistic (like I was "attempting" to be) by creating swirl patterns. It was much more challenging in certain situations. I LOVE the little beads you added! I agree with the comment above that said they probably show up better with this grout than the clear, so maybe it's a happy oops, even though you feel like you wasted your time painting it in the beginning. Ahhh, the joys of crafting ;)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562337478486768639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648206709936482842.post-25781754105487274672012-09-16T05:55:38.133-05:002012-09-16T05:55:38.133-05:00Love it Ellen!

I have a few questions though....<br />Will this be waterproof to put outside?<br />I always thought regular spray paint did some awful things to styrofoam. and <br />I thought you had to use special styrofoam glue...........I'd really like to do a project like this so any help would be appreciated.
