Spoon wind chime - silverware windchime - funky garden art - repurposed garden decor - upcycled - pastel wind chime - beaded chime - patio

Handmade by my husband at Whispering Metalworks. This wind chime features our latest style of bent spoons. The beads are wonderful pastel greens, blues, and purples - some with sparkly frosted facets on them. It is full of surprises - from the inverted eggcup, to the napkin ring, to the twisted serving spoon.  It measures approximately 6 1/4" wide x 24" long (measurement includes the length of the top wire for hanging).  We test each and every one of our wind chimes our own yard, and although nothing is meant to withstand a Texas tornado, they have been proven to withstand the breezes and wind that we have here in Western Washington. We use coated stainless steel wire and crimps to attach each piece which accounts for their strength and durability - where others simply use fishing line and knots that easily break down from the UV rays of the sun. We only use glass, crystal, or natural stone beads - never any plastic. We take a great deal of pride in re-purposing and up-cycling, and our wind chimes are a true example of utilizing old forgotten flatware to it's fullest. Of course, whoever originally purchased these silver plated pieces would have intended their use to be on an an elegant dinner table and over time they were probably stored in a cabinet to treasure as family heirlooms. Oh, to just think of the history! We in turn purchased them for the next step in their journey, which would be to continue their legacy as works of art. We do strive to purchase as many of our supplies as possible from local vendors, so as we see it we have brought these pieces full circle and in turn have supported our local small business economy!
