Today I was rummaging through our silverware drawer in search of something and found 6 miscellaneous (and not in the best condition pieces) of my grandma's old silver that I put in there a couple years ago because I didn't know what else to do with them and didn't want to throw them away. (My grandpa also made me a ring from a piece of it years ago). Anyway last fall at the Soakum Festival in Noble County a gentleman was selling wind chimes made from silverware and I admired them and later kicked myself for not buying one. My friend Lisa and I attended the festival after the Marietta rabbit show last fall and I was hoping to get back this year but the festival is on a different weekend than the show so I just asked Andrew to make the chimes for me today. I should mention that this project requires silver and not stainless steel in order to get the proper chiming sound and to get the drill bit through the metal. It took him less than an hour.
I looked up directions on the internet, drew a plan and viola.
This is the ring that my grandpa made for me back in the 80's. Isn't the pattern beautiful?
