Hi pappy,

Last year I had a large glass ball blown for me by a local glass blowing shop. They sandblasted the outside giving it a wonderful glow when lit. If you have a local shop they might do it for you at a reasonable price. I paid nothing extra to have mine done.

I've got to get around to posting a picture, all I need to do is darken the rope a little with some tea.

Thanks, Tikiwahine. I would go that route but I already got
the float and the last thing I wanna do is peel the net that's on there off. I don't think I could get it back on on a bet!

One more question (for anyone): I was planning on making the hole right in the float's belly button where the glass is thickest. Is that the place to do it?

a million thanks,
Pappy
