Feng Shui, The Creative Order, Stained Glass Wind Chimes

Description

Feng Shui is a way to live harmoniously with the natural environment.
Ancient Chinese believe one’s fortune is affected by the balance of five elements:
Wood – Fire – Earth – Metal – Water
Everything in the universe is composed of these five elements.

I have created these glass chimes
in the Creative Order of Feng Shui
Wood feeds fire
Fire burns to create ash or earth
Earth contains metal
Metal can be melted to flow like water
Water enables wood to grow

At the top of these chimes is a natural tree branch from my woods,
That I have sun dried, and bleached, sealed and strung on a piece of natural twine

Hanging from the branch are the chimes
Which consist of, 16 pieces of glass:
Wood is represented by a wispy brown swirled glass
Fire, an opaque red/orange swirled glass
Earth, an opaque green swirled glass
Metal, an opaque mirror glass
Water, an opaque blue/green swirled glass
The glass is strung with amber tube glass beads & black glass beads

The total hanging measurement of these chimes is 25 inches long and 9 inches at its widest point
They sound wonderful ~ a soft sounding chime ~ the slightest breeze will make them sing!

I hand cut all of the glass, sand it, and then drill.
My name is etched in the glass
Thank you for the interest in my art.
