My entry for the 'Have a Ball' event - SOLD

HAVE A BALL. 100 balls have been created into sculptures, garden art, mosaics, collage, glitter balls, fountains and many more imaginative pieces. 

This was my entry, and when I went to visit the event, I was thrilled to find out that it has been sold.

An interesting Arts Collective event coming soon

I am currently painting my old bowling ball to enter in this event - it will be really interesting to see what other people have done with them.

Come and check it out on Sunday 25 October, 11am to 5pm, at the Whangamata Bowling Club.
