This one here made a lovely delicate little sound but it didn't take a wind much stronger than a sneeze to tangle the streamers up something awful. Then we had a storm come through which blew this one down, breaking some of the discs and leaving the rest tangled beyond hope.
So I decided to re-do it, my way, and hang it indoors.
First I made swirly accents out of copper wire to add some "oomph" to the discs.
Then I re-strung it, adding nice glass beads plus fishing sinkers to the bottom to weigh down the "streamers".
I intended to hang it on the orange wall of my kitchen/craft-corner but it looked a bit lost there. So I think I will just leave it here on the window.
So that's it. A relatively simple rescue-project with a result much better than the way it came from the store. And look - the main copper part is my initial. :)

Nicely done, Coleen. Don't suppose you make calls ?? And know what's really impressive ?? Your kitchen blinds are clean . . .
Very nice. I especially like the copper accents.
Visually VERY appealing and love the colors you chose. I think your decision to move it indoors is a wise one. Cool "C"!
