REFLECTIONS

I found these photographs of my daughter when she was about 2 or 3 years old.

 I used paint can openers (keys), fishing line, a cast iron hook, small wire hooks, part of a decorative anemometer and a blue glass ornament that I found in the basement to make this wind chime.   I get a kick out of using old discarded items to make something new. This one has more of a "country" look to it. It tinkles in the wind. Sometimes when I look at it, it seems like a pile of junk hanging on fishing line! Anyway it was fun. Last time I used parts from old broken wind chimes. It's the one on the left. It made it through hurricane Sandy without any damage! I hope the new one will last.

I edited two photographs from unknown sources to form this image.

 

I used the free online photo editor called "FotoFlexer" to make these variations. FotoFlexer - The world's most advanced online photo editor Let me know if you want to copy any of them.

I'm making progress with my wind chime project.. The hook is made of twisted iron cords. It seems to hold the wind chime in balance. These are the paint can lid opening tools (keys). I  want to make a tinkling  sound. I kept these plastic tubes from the packaging of the tomato cages I purchased last year. I thought I might find a use for them someday. I'm glad I didn't throw them away!
