glass plate/silverware windchimes

17 years ago

I bought a beautiful glass plate/silverware windchime several years ago and I would LOVE to make some more. I've been seeing them again in antique stores, but they are quite pricey..They seem easy enough to make, but there is a silver material/scroll work around them that I can't seem to find out what it is..I've tried searching EVERYWHERE on GardenWeb about this, but can't seem to find it. I even tried the stained glass forum and Google- nothing. Has anyone seen these and know what this material is? It kind of looks like the lead used in stained glass panels..(forgive my ignorance)..If any of you know please share..

I am guessing that the lead for stained glass is probably exactly what it is. I can't say for sure withougt seing a picture, but I have used lead to make teh kind of scrollwork you are talking about.

Tiffani, We would like to see a picture of the scroll. How is the silverware attached to the plate?

I have seen the windchimes using a part of a lamp that had the scroll work around...you know the part where they screw in the glass light cover.
