Ok guys you are way to good Love the chimes and all the blue

Kirk, your wind chime is really neat. The blue is so pretty. - Marylee

Lovely against the backdrop of snow. Kirk, maybe you can mention whether it is safe to have glass out in winter. I know some have mentioned, if they get water in them(like a birdbath) they might crack. What about frost on the outside of the bells,would that crack them if it is 32 degrees or lower. I have a couple of blue containers with corks in them by the house & on the ground & they have been OK but with so many getting worse weather than usual think we need a primer on what is safe & what isn't.

Great project, kirk & carol! They are GORGEOUS! Very, very lovely! What a bargain ...even w/shpg costs! Yes, they look beautiful against the white snow, too! Jeanne S.

Thanks everyone! Another fun project! :o) We're thinking about doing a similar one with metal bells.

Jan, I bring most of my glass inside in the winter. I did leave my bottle tree out this year as an experiment. It looks great in the snow...if a bottle breaks, I figure I can always replace it. Carol and I made our blue wine bottle chime several years ago, and it has fared well. We've left it outside year-round. It is under the eaves. This bell chime is under the edge of our covered porch. We'll see how it does. :o) Stay tuned. :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk

Those bells are wonderful, kudos to you and Carol. I love how they look against the snow.

hugs, Karen

I love that shade of blue almost as much as the cobalt, it's a toss up.(It looks kinda tealish?) You all are so talented and it's so nice that you like to do some crafting together.

They turned out beautifully!! Love the color of them and I'll bet they have a sweet sound!

Very pretty, I love cobalt blue

They are very pretty. They are beautiful against the snow and what a different look they will have come summer....equally as beautiful.

Oh! this is just so pretty Kirk!! Thanks for sharing you & your wife's work with us here!

Looking GREAT Kirk and Carol!!!! Thanks for posting....Were those originally bells? Perfect snow backdrop too.
Love, Jules

Thanks for your encouragement, everyone! You made our day! Jules, those are glass bells strung together in a windchime. :o) Great, sweet sound! Bear Hugs! Kirk & Carol

The bells are beautiful and stringing them into a chime was a great idea.
I leave my glass out all winter. The plate flowers look really cool with snow on them.

Wow! What a beautiful job you did on this wind bell. I especially love the blue color. You can never go wrong with blue! I make a lot of wind bells but they are hand carved ceramic. I love your bells. Well done!
