[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Wind chime

[Bernice Bird]

I once had a wind chime made from hollow tubes of bamboo, and they mad a
very pleasing sound. You could also use bells, beads, and other odds and
ends of stuff around the house. When my daughter was very little, one of her
favorite play things was a plastic baby wipe box with many metal ends of
frozen orange juice containers. They make a nice sound. I would cover them
in contact paper, find a way to punch a hole and you're off.

Well Shelley, speaking of wind chimes and golf balls, I have a very cool
wind chime that I bought at the Seeing Eye fundraising auction a few years
ago.  I'm sure some crafty soul made it. 

It has a large flat metal piece in the shape of a Labrador head.  It has a
wooden wind catcher hanging from a string at the bottom, and the metal piece
is hanging from a long white stick with a golf ball tip, like a cane with a
roly tip.  Also hanging from the cane is a golf ball on a string, which hits
the metal piece when the wind blows. 

It's not your run-of-the-mill wind chime.  I think it's great.

Tracy
