Do you let the paint dry before you do the next color?  That was what  I 
was thinking when I read your directions.

Paulette,

Nope, I am a total.

I did though see these  ornaments before I lost my sight.

The beauty is that they are just  haphazard in where the paint goes.    The
parts where the  paint  is thinly coating the inside of the ball  it blends
with  the next color, and the parts where the paint is thick you only see
that  one color.

Hi Dixie,

It sounds you may be able to see a  bit. The second ornament sounds lovely,
however, totally blind people will  probably have to get some help with the
swirling the paint and putting the  colors where they will look best.

Ok, here are my 2 glass ball  ornaments.



1.        You will need clear  glass ball ornaments, potpourri, ribbon and
glue.  Remove the top  hanger off of the ball.  Carefully fill the ball with
colorful  Christmas potpourri.  Replace the top.  Then take a nice  gold
ribbon and wrap that ball, gluing the ribbon in place.  The  ribbon starts 
at
the top, goes around the bottom of the ball to the far  side and back up to
the top.  I will either do that one time with a 1  inch wide ribbon, or 
twice
in the front to back and one from the side and  around to the other side 
with
the narrower ribbon.    You can  also glue a bow made out of that ribbon on
the top just to the side of the  hanger.

2.        The second Christmas ornament is  done with metallic pain and the
clear glass ornaments.  Remove the  hanger top.   Put a good size drop of
paint in the ball, swirl it  around just a bit.  You don't want the color to
completely cover all  of the inside, at this point, just streak it. Let it
dry.  Choose your  second color and repeat step 1.  Finally your third color
will be used  to cover the remainder of the inside of the ball.  You may 
want
to put  a bit of a larger drop of paint to insure this happens.  This way  
the
colors won't make a muddy color, but maintain their own distinct  colors.
The balls I made are metallic gold, red and  green.
