Recycled Baseballs - Americana

I found patriotic inspiration on Flickr looking at Kelly Cottrell's photos.  She painted some paper mache balls in patriotic colors...



I love how these look.  Thank you so much Kelli for the inspiration!

You've heard the phrase "as American as baseball and apple pie"...right?  So, I decided to incorporate some old baseballs I had in my painting stash ....


Still playing around with different ways to display them...

Linking this idea with Be Inspired's link party and CSI Project and
A to Z's Vingnette Party!

And this display has been featured on Someday Crafts, too!  Thanks!
