SILVERWARE FISH CHIME

摘要

Wind chimes can be incredibly sophisticated, with pipes cut to calculated lengths to produce specific notes. But I just wanted something simple that would look and sound pleasant-and that wasn't mass-produced. I liked the wind chimes I found online that were fashioned from silverware, especially one with spoons turned into dangling schools of fish. I nearly bought it, but decided to try making my own instead. I'm all for supporting artists who recycle old household items into such delightful creations, and I often worry that I'm not talented enough to replicate something a professional has made. But I love overcoming those doubts. I see it as a form of environmental activism: The more stuff I make, the less I just reflexively buy.
