Beach Stone Zen Wind Chime

Back in Stock: Zen Beach Stone Chime
Coast Chimes

One of my favourite things is beach combing, and fetching great natural materials from which to craft my art. Beach stones are amazing to work with, and made some of the coolest works I make.

I say the glass I use looks best in the sunlight, especially early morning and late afternoon light. The beach stone look great anytime, but show their best in the rain or snow. It's like the stone along the tide line, that look all shiny wet, and colours you do not notice when they are dry appear. So nice!

Like all my wind chimes, they are made for year round outdoor use. The chime pictured above has stones that have been drilled right through, and a strong copper wire keeps them together. Built to last!

Beach Combing for Art

Beachcomber's Wind Chime
Coast Chimes

It's been a relatively mild winter here on the Sunshine Coast, BC, but there have been a few big wind storms. Storms usually mean exceptional beachcombing! I go down below my house and walk the beach almost everyday, and last week I was lucky enough to spot this gorgeous piece of wood. I knew immediately it would be perfect for just this wind chime, and so here it is!

I love working with natural local materials, and feel most fortunate to have these lovely beach stones and sometimes nice driftwood. What would I do without these cool materials? Not only are they beautiful, but they inspire.

Christmas Shopping Made Easy

Kaleidoscope Suncatcher, by Coast Chimes

The Sunshine Coast Art Crawl was a huge success-- so many people dropping in at Coast Chimes, excited, enthusiastic, curious. Always a thrill, those three days!

Now the Christmas shopping has started online, and given that there may still be some congestion in the mail from the recent rotating strike activity of Canada Post, now is not too soon to order to assure delivery for the 25th.

Some popular designs are already sold out, such as the smaller size kaleidoscope chimes. But there is a lot of great stock left for you to choose from.

Best of all, for a few days I am running a 15% off sale on all large wind chimes, or any order $185 or more. My way of saying thank you.

Drop in on my website, Coast Chimes, or visit my Etsy store: Coast Chimes Etsy. It will be easy to find the perfect gift.
