I was just thinking this morning that I remembered the Alabi here in Portland had plastic float lights outside.

Last year I built a crystal ball table for my home halloween haunt and used a 12" clear ball. They sell a frosted white ball as well. You can get these with or without a neck - but the hole is smaller on the with neck version - and you can simply cut the neck off with a hacksaw or something.

Great links! Quite a price jump after 12 inch diameter, but sweet jesus! 20" diameter!!!! That would be AWESOME.
I'll bet you could spray (or airbrish) on some color, then drop in a colored bulb, net it up and you're done! I think I got a small one lying around somewhere from HOme depot...
