Madigan made... a box of golf balls.
My new-found infatuation with ORB (oil rubbed bronze) spray paint continues.
After I made the bronze sports statue for our sports themed basement, I wanted to spray something else bronze.
I needed another accessory. I decided to paint golf balls. Why not?
Mr. Madigan enjoys playing golf. He often finds lost golf balls out on the course.
He's gathered quite a few over the years.
I thought they might look cute mounted in the back of an old square shelf. I stole took 16 golf balls for this project.
After a little cleaning, they got a coat of ORB. So did a square of plywood (to attach to the back of the shelf).
I sprayed the golf balls and waited till one side dried. Then I flipped the balls over to spray the other side.
(I tried not to let them roll around. Round objects are not easy to paint!)
Once I sprayed everything, I attached the wood to the back of the shelf.
I used a combination of a dot of super glue and a glue gun to attach each golf ball in the back.
I like the graphic grouping of the golf balls and the sheen of the ORB.
I set the 'box of balls' next to a matching smaller square shelf.
I left the back of that shelf open and just used it to display a vintage baseball.
(At least I think it is vintage. It could be a current ball with lots of dirt on it. I'm a sucker at a flea market when the seller calls something 'antique.')
What else can I spray with ORB?
Hmmm.
