Look what my mum made...spoon wind-chimes! :D

[Paperdaisies]

Here is something that my mum made that I thought would be apreciated here. Its some wind chimes made from some silver spoons Mum bought at a recycling centre. She flattened them with a hammer on an anvil (yes, we have an anvil) and Dad drilled some holes for her. Then she tied them to a piece of an old picture frame. Isn't it a great idea? And it makes a really nice tinkling noise!

Here is the picture!


Enjoy, and please give some feedback!

ps. my mum is cool

i've always loved chimes made from cutlery.  i'd love to try this sometime.

I have some friends that started a fake catholic sect for Renaissance Faires here in the states. They are a group of "monks" who call themselves the brotherhood of the spoon. They use spoons for everything, lots of deporative spoon things, even a hand turned "spoon" staff. Mostly they just run around faire drunk as can be. I think they would love this more than words can say!

That looks great--the only thing I would do is put some decorative gems or something on the spoons, so that they would reflect light as well.

that's a great idea!!

Ah, I love this.  My grandpa made spoon windchimes for my family, instead of a piece of wood though he used a fork, with each prong? of the fork bent in a different direction, and hung the spoons off of that.  I love the way they sound

I have some made of forks, spoons and butter knieves that I bought in Pennsylvania ... I like your mother's better. I like that they are hanging in a straight line, as opposed to a circular pattern (like mine). Tell your mom they are really great  !
