I call these "Christmas" Balls but their use is by no means restricted to decorating Christmas trees.  For the actual Christmas ornaments I use traditional Christmas colors—red, green, white, gold, and occasionally blue.  But because I love experimenting with color I have used just about every color under the sun in preparing these ornaments.  They are beautiful displayed as a decorative group in a basket or bowl.  I change out my own basket of balls periodically, choosing colors commensurate with the season, for example, cool blue shades for winter and warm bright colors for summer.

I make these ornaments by using pre-made glass shapes and acrylic paints.  Paint is dripped into the ball and swirled to coat the entire inside of the ornament.  Although a fascinating design appears right away it changes as the ornament dries, creating a marbleized effect.  I can never tell what I’m going to get until it dries, but the outcome is always fascinating.
