Recycled Wind Chime Mobiles

Stabilized vintage shards of Idaho Prairie Glass. Glass found during homestead digs. Where traditional family's during the "turn of the century" threw their trash behind and near their homes. Burning in the winter months then tilled in the spring with crop planting. When I go dig for rock often I find and uncover buckets of shards after the spring thaw.

Two sets of shards for the listed price. Two sets supplies for two wind chime mobiles.

12 pieces of jadeite saucer, opal canning lids, green wine decanter and assorted glass. 12 assorted crystal glass, Noxzema blue glass, Vick's jar, wine decanter bottom and elixir bottle. Both sets the pieces are a bit small than the other two shard listings, none the less promote a pretty crisp sound, softer and gentler...sweet.

Simply attach a nickel bell cap to the tops of each shard with E 6000 glue (I have found that it holds well in all seasons). String 20 pound test fishing line to each bell cap and run through an opening or bullet hole in rusted metal. (Better to tie off a rolled knot up close to the bell cap top.) Then secure to an opening base with a small plastic button and a glass delica bead. Tie off with a slide knot to the closest spot against the bead.

Finish your chime with an array of mixed found objects and crazy metal findings from the streets. One image provided from my Portfolio of wind chimes. I sold my wind chime mobiles at shows for ten years, each was dated and signed, selling between $38.00 and $68.00 each.
