A vintage flower brooch provided the inspiration for this suncatcher, “Fall Flower”. Strands of smoky glass and gray beads hang from an antique silver bowl. Rhodonite and crystals make it sparkle.
“Parliament of Purple” is an owl-themed windchime. Beaded strands of purple and clear glass hang from an antique silver vessel. Sweet purple owl beads form a parliament of owls. Five antique silver plated spoons have been flattened to give this chime its’ tinkling sound. Four of the spoons are of the pattern ‘Proposal’.
“Octopus’ Garden” is a funky metal basket suspended on strands of glass and mother of pearl beads. Eight tentacles of blue and pearl toned beads and shells extend to vintage silver serving pieces below, creating a delightful clamor.
“Entremet”, the layer cake windchime features an antique silver plated cake server with glass and mother of pearl shell beads. Deconstructed antique silver plated spoon handles make a quiet chiming sound. And there’s an antique cake fork to make it even yummier!
“Mariposa”. A vintage brass butterfly trivet sparkles with beads in shades of purples and gold. Deconstructed gold toned spoon bowls make a sonorous chime.
“Phant-ohm” is a vintage brass elephant trivet with glass, wood and metal beads. Gold toned deconstructed spoons and an antique Thai bell give this windchime its unique sound.
Three small vintage goblets with a grape motif hang from green beads on driftwood.
A deconstructed shell bracelet was the inspiration for “Seychelles”. Driftwood, glass beads and shells imbue this piece with peach and earthy tones. The handles of deconstructed vintage silver spoons give “Seychelles” a quieter, light tinkling sound.
An antique silver plated fork with twisted tines is caught up in the “Algae” of green beads and shells. Flattened bowls fashioned from deconstructed vintage silver spoons create the chiming sound.
“Papillon” is a butterfly-shaped tea trivet with beads in vibrant shades of pink. Five flattened antique silver-plated spoons have been deconstructed to create the chimes clappers. I made this piece during the Paris Olympics so gave it a French name. Et voila!
An antique sugar bowl with a grape motif provides the base for “Creme de Menthe”. Opaque, clear and pearlized green beads give this piece its creamy look. Antique silver plated soup spoons have been deconstructed and flattened to give “Creme de Menthe” its dulcet tones. Another Paris Olympics inspired windchime!
“Bouillabaise” is a quieter windchime composed with an eclectic mix of driftwood, shells and experienced wooden spoons. These old wooden spoons were reimagined into fish with some grinding and woodburning.. Wood, coconut and mother of pearl beads in shades of blue and green give that ocean vibe. This piece was inspired by a swim at Montague Harbour, on Galiano Island, BC where the wood and shells were gathered. The top piece of wood floated past me and said “Bouillabaise”!
