Here are the Fused Glass Wind Chimes I made for my Son, Robert, for his birthday, yesterday.\u00a0 I just realized I have not posted any blog posts since after Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Was totally swamped over the holidays.\u00a0 Seems like the days just get by so very fast anymore.<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0002\"<\/a> I made them small because in the next 7 or 8 months the kids are going full time into an RV.\u00a0 They have been downsizing so I wanted something that could travel with them.<\/h2>\n

\"SANY0009\"<\/a>Here is a close up of the top, black glass with colored dichroic chips and stringers fused onto it.<\/p>\n

The top piece is about 3 x 3 inches.<\/p>\n

\"SANY0008\"<\/a>A close up of the upper 3 chimes.\u00a0 Blue streaky glass and Purple glass with bits of dichroic glass fused onto them.<\/p>\n

Each chime is approximately 1\/2 inch wide by 3 inches long.<\/p>\n

\"SANY0007\"<\/a>And a close up of the lower 3 chimes.<\/p>\n

The two outside chimes are actually Dark Purple glass, when held up to the light you can see they are purple.<\/p>\n

All together is was quite a fun little project to create.\u00a0 The first set of Wind Chimes I have ever made.\u00a0 I strung the chimes with 8 lb fishing line my Hubby, Rick, had and used a fishing swivel for the top to hang them from.<\/h2>\n

Drilling all the holes in the glass before I fired them in the kiln, and tying the knots in the fishing line to string each of the chimes, all took quite a bit of time.\u00a0 I also had to learn to tie a couple of new knots, fishing knots, so the knots would not come untied and the glass fall off and break later on.\u00a0 Thanks Rick for sharing some You Tube videos.<\/h2>\n
