| Hi everyone! As promised, Carol and I finished our bell windchimes, working on the project together. Here is the finished chime. It was a bit windy here today, and the bells sounded sweet all together. Bear Hugs! Kirk

| 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 |

| 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. Frou |

| 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. Kathy |

| 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! |
