My First Ball

This is my neighbor, Steve's, bowling ball that he was nice enough to lug over to my house today. It's for the bowling ball art that I plan to make by glueing on glass beads. This will be my first so I won't attempt to make anything elaborate, just same color glass beads. Once I gain more confidence, Shelley wants me to make her a couple that look like ladybugs. I've told her to find 2 bowling balls and we'll make them together this winter.

I haven't gone to the local bowling alleys for balls yet but I am practicing how I'll ask for them. I won't say, "I'm looking for some old balls.". I'll say, "Do you have any old bowling balls that I can buy?". Sounds better, doesn't it?
