I wonder, could you paint an old bowling ball to do this?
My sister did it with my moms bowling ball. It was blue swirl design, looked nice. Bowling balls can be found cheap at yard sales.
The story about gazing balls: They are supposed to be mirrored(you can get paint at hardware store) to keep evil spirits away from your home.
My mother in law has a bowling ball garden. She has a rock garden with 7 or 8 bowling balls placed in different ways. You can go out and move them or stack them in whatever way you feel like. I'll try to get a photo when I visit her this spring.

Another Cheap Ideal is to get the large plastic Christmas ornaments that are made to hang outside and are the same size as gazing balls. They come in many colors and designs and look like real gazing balls.
