Meet Karen Weigert Enos

I first saw Karen’s wonderful garden art when she dropped by the Empress of Dirt Facebook page and shared her latest work of art. And boy did she knock my socks off.

Not only are her garden balls beautiful, but I immediately noticed how meticulous she is with her work. I could see that she takes tremendous care (and time) to achieve this level of perfection.

When readers see Karen’s work, they always ask the same questions so she’s kindly answered them (below) and best of all, you can buy these garden balls if you prefer.

Creations: garden art balls, barrettes with recycled jewelry pieces, dish gardens, drawing pixies, elves, and aliens, painting, mosaics.

Materials for making decorative garden art balls — Bowling balls – large and small (candle pin) bowling balls. You can also use old, glass lamp globes. They have nice, thick glass and do not break.

Garden Ball Gallery

As you can tell from what Karen shared, these garden balls are not quick and easy projects. Karen takes time to ensure the surface colour of the bowling balls fits the colour theme of the decorations, and, on the more-detailed pieces, meticulously places mini-bits and decorative fillers between the larger marbles and gems.

I really enjoy the range of colours and styles.

A design like this one takes carefully planning and measuring to be sure the main marbles fit perfectly.

This purple and green ball is an example of one of the more detailed, time-consuming garden art balls. Notice how Karen has carefully placed mini-bits and fillers in all of the sections. It’s not a quick project but the final product is well worth it.
