“Hot Spots” sparkles with turquoise coloured and clear beads. Souvenir spoons from hot spots in Hawaii and Australia hang from driftwood and make a tinkling sound.
Vintage ice cream scooper with beads in all the bubble gum flavours! Pink, purple and blue beads hold the five vintage silver plated spoons that make “Scoop” chime. One scoop even has sprinkles.
“Forget Me Not” is a whimsical windchime. I don’t know the origin of the metal flower but it is very lightweight so this piece moves a lot in the wind. I added contemporary blue and clear beads including tiny flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots. Deconstructed antique silver spoon handles and bowls make this chime sing.
“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”!
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.
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!
“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!
This vintage silver-plated baby mug has an embossed duckling on it. Three vintage silver-plated baby spoons hang from glass and metal beads, including ducklings! The middle spoon is from Gerber’s, the baby food company, in the 1950’s. Makes a great baby or shower gift!
Three small vintage goblets with a grape motif hang from green beads on driftwood.
