A vintage flower brooch provided the inspiration for this suncatcher, “Fall Flower”. Strands of smoky glass and gray beads hang from an antique silver bowl. Rhodonite and crystals make it sparkle.

“Hathi” elephant themed suncatcher
A bejeweled elephant brooch hangs from an antique silver sugar bowl amidst sparkling glass beads and crystals.
“A Stitch In Time” has vintage wooden spools, metal bobbins and antique thimbles. This is a quiet piece with tiny bells in the thimbles. Wooden beads complement the wooden spools and the vintage knitting needle atop. One of the bobbins has the same aqua green thread the same colour as the beads and buttons!
An antique silver plated fork with twisted tines is caught up in the “Algae” of green beads and shells. Flattened bowls fashioned from deconstructed vintage silver spoons create the chiming sound.
This vintage silver-plated baby mug has an embossed duckling on it. Three vintage silver-plated baby spoons hang from glass and metal beads, including ducklings! The middle spoon is from Gerber’s, the baby food company, in the 1950’s. Makes a great baby or shower gift!
Verdigris lantern with abalone shells has a beach vibe.. Turquoise, bronze, opaque white and pearly toned beads complement the mother of pearl sheen of the abalone. Five antique silver plated spoons have been deconstructed and hammered into “clappers’ to make this lantern chime.
“Bouillabaise” is a quieter windchime composed with an eclectic mix of driftwood, shells and experienced wooden spoons. These old wooden spoons were reimagined into fish with some grinding and woodburning.. Wood, coconut and mother of pearl beads in shades of blue and green give that ocean vibe. This piece was inspired by a swim at Montague Harbour, on Galiano Island, BC where the wood and shells were gathered. The top piece of wood floated past me and said “Bouillabaise”!

An antique sugar bowl with a grape motif provides the base for “Creme de Menthe”. Opaque, clear and pearlized green beads give this piece its creamy look. Antique silver plated soup spoons have been deconstructed and flattened to give “Creme de Menthe” its dulcet tones. Another Paris Olympics inspired windchime!
