Tile Ball

Posted on April 30, 2011 by piecedgoods

I like to recycle things.

I had a flattish ball – still round, but a bit cracked and not so bouncy anymore. I had left over cement. I had left over bathroom tile and grout. And I had glass pebbles that I cannot resist buying at Michael’s when they’re 50% off. So I made this.

All that tile and cement makes it hard to play ball with it anymore, but I like it anyway.

Wow!!! Some of us would have thrown that old, flattish ball out and look what an amazing thing you did with it. Doesn’t it feel great when you take discarded or leftover things and make something so beautiful?
