I Made a Thing

[primsong]

I feel so accomplished, heh.  I'd picked up an assortment of old silver serving spoons and such at various garage sales and finally took the time to finish making them into a wind-chime of sorts:




It's a very quiet chime, as I spaced them so they only occasionally clang together, mostly it just moves around in the breeze for sparkle.  I wrapped them with colored wire so I would have a way to attach them, then added random beads from a couple broken necklaces and some wood ones from an old macrame hanger than I took apart.  The top is a silver wire fruit basket. 

This way if I ever get tired of it, I can take it apart and have a lot of perfectly serviceable spoons and tongs and so on too.  ;-)

That's totally cool!

Thank you! I rationalized spending time on a 'silly little thing' by figuring it might be practical to someone-or-other someday when it's done be decorative. :-)

Hey, it's not a silly little thing. No need to justify spending time on it. Even if nothing else, you got enjoyment out of making it.

very nice. if you do get tired of it, you could bring it inside & have it as something of an art piece.

Yay for recycling!

So pretty! I especially love the fruit basket :) (hope you don't mind that I'm reading)

Hey, the more the merrier! And thanks - the longer it's hanging by my door the more I'm liking it, we'll see how it weathers winter weather later on (though we have fairly mild winters here so the odds are good).
