“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.
“Conchas Rosas”
(Pink Shells)
Antique silver candy dish with vintage china bowl
Beads in ivory and coral colours, some carved
Antique silver plated knife handles
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.
“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!
“Hathi” elephant themed suncatcher
A bejeweled elephant brooch hangs from an antique silver sugar bowl amidst sparkling glass beads and crystals.
A vintage napkin holder and antique soup spoons were deconstructed to create this piece. They are suspended by strands of opaque and clear beads in rich wine tones. Five flattened spoon bowls make a sonorous clang.
“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.
“Wavy Gravy” is a repurposed antique silver plated gravy ladle with amber toned glass beads. Its’ melodious chime comes from five deconstructed silver plated vintage spoon bowls that I hammered flat.
“Mariposa”. A vintage brass butterfly trivet sparkles with beads in shades of purples and gold. Deconstructed gold toned spoon bowls make a sonorous chime.
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”!
