Ladybug Bowling Balls
Readers Comments Prompted Me To Find
Painted Ladybug Ideas
Liz and Krista left comments on my blog post how to paint bowling balls about bowling balls painted to look like ladybugs. Krista said she saw a project in a magazine, but couldn’t remember what magazine.
So, this nudged me into trying to help some more and see what I could find, and voila … here are two photos from the many examples I found by doing a Google search.
