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.
