A splash of colour: the beach glass inspired kaleidoscope wind chime. When sunlight shines through the small morsels of artist-made sea glass, you are treated to a spectacular show of colour.

Attention to detail and quality, with clear red cedar treated with an exceptional Eco-house tung nut oil, extra-thick plate glass (1/4 inch), and 3 handmade antiqued chimes. The chimes are cut from raw brass, double-sanded, antiqued with a special process (not paint or dye, this finish will never flake or peel), they offer a gentle, sweet reminder to look, when the wind chimes them.

This wind chime looks great anywhere, but is especially suited to being hung where the early morning / late afternoon sun can shine through the glass.

Small Chimes Can Be a Perfect Fit

Small Can Be Just Right

Small yard, small deck, don't want to hear a louder, larger chime: there are numerous legitimate reasons for choosing small over large. Coast Chimes is well aware that some people want small, so an entire section of the website is dedicated to those.

The small chimes are three hand cut brass chimes, sanded, treated with a reactive to darken the metal, and hung on a handcrafted copper hanger with nylon coated stainless steel, sterling silver crimps. These are designed to be beautiful and also extremely durable.

Small chimes also start at a budget level to allow for the perfect little gift, especially when you remember that shipping is free to anywhere in the USA or Canada.

Coast Chimes Kaleidoscope Wind Chime

Both my large and smaller kaleidoscope wind chime designs are popular. The small one, as pictured above, had been sold out for quite a few weeks, and now they are back in stock, both at Coast Chimes and on Etsy.

This style of wind chime is simply gorgeous anywhere, anytime, but really comes alive when the sun shines through the glass from behind (like a kaleidoscope!), especially early morning / late afternoon sunlight.

A set of five sweet suncatchers with copper.

It's enjoyable to face the challenge of making a really large work. I love to take various materials and combine them into something amazing, like a large freestanding double wind chime with a big beach stone base. But there is something to be said for small works, too.

It's all in the details. I pride myself in taking great care, and doing the very best I can to make every part of every work special. Some of that might get lost in the large works, which show well from a distance; people might not be as likely to walk up and look closely from every angle.

For these little suncatcher ornaments I make, I think that is not the case. You can hold one in your hand, turn it over, look and feel every part of each one. You will note the double soldered spots on the back, and see how the holes in the glass are neatly cut, and how the edges or the glass are so smooth.

These are great as decorating accents-- just hang them anywhere for fun. And then, when Christmas roles around, they make fabulous tree ornaments.

New Smaller Works

A month or so ago, I realized that my new website could give me the option of placing a few less expensive works online. That has not been an option with eBay, for me, for quite sometime, both because of the fees, and because of the US dollar now being worth less than the Canadian.

See, back in the good ol' days (yes grampa), I could put something for, say, $65 on eBay, and when I traded in those US dollars they would magically turn into $100. Now I would get maybe $60.

Anyway, people really seem to appreciate having some less expensive works available, and I suddenly realized that almost everything on both my under $75 page and my under $100 page was marked sold. That's a drag, if you are shopping!

So I've just made some neat new works this week, and this morning got them all put on the site. Fresh start. Enjoy!
