 I love the diversity of my art. I've been going around in circles doing sea glass Christmas trees, sea glass cards, suncatchers and most recently beach treasure mobiles. I took some time out to make a couple of wine bottle wind chimes. Everything I use for my wind chimes, other than the beads, are recycled items, from the wine bottle to the fishing line and all the things that I've picked up from the beach. I tend to use shell pieces and seed pods to create my wind chimes. I tried a few with pieces of sea glass in the design but it doesn't really appeal to me as a decorative piece and doesn't make a great sound as a clacker piece. It's all about trial and error so now I've learned to use things from nature in my chimes. #artist #myrockpaperart #beartistic #becreative #iamanartist #createsomething #exploreyourcreativity #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts

8/30/2024 0 Comments Wind chime time.... Switching gears from mobiles to making wind chimes with wine bottles and treasures I picked up off the beach. Successfully cut the bottoms off my wine bottles. Now I can begin construction. I've decided to use red and white beads on the fishing line to add a little "pop" of color. Since I've decided to work with beads I'm using the bottoms of the wine bottle as my bead holders making it easier to get them. #artist #myrockpaperart #beartistic #becreative #iamanartist #createsomething #exploreyourcreativity #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts 4/12/2024 0 Comments Wine bottle wind chimes.... -
Switching gears from sea glass cards to making wind chimes with wine bottles and treasures I picked up off the beach. I've cut my bottles - I'm getting really good at that. I've finally found the technique that works great for me. I think I've got about a 95% success rate in cutting my bottles. Now it's a matter of sorting through all the goodies I've picked up off the beach and decide which ones to use in the chimes. The next decision will be - do I want it to be made with just plain fishing line or do I want it to be a little fancier - in which case I will put beads on the fishing line between the adornments to add a little more color and flair to the piece. #artist #myrockpaperart #beartistic #becreative #iamanartist #createsomething #exploreyourcreativity #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts 4/12/2024 0 Comments Simple, clear wind chimes.... Bits of shells, tile, discarded fishing line and recycled wine bottles used to create wind chimes. These are a couple of my very plain wind chimes which just show off all the interesting beach pieces. #artist #myrockpaperart #beartistic #becreative #iamanartist #createsomething #exploreyourcreativity #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts  I'm alternating between building sea glass Christmas trees and painting a wine bottle wind chime today. I've found that my wine bottle cutting device actually is really good to use to hold my bottle while I'm painting it. It's quite tricky to paint on a bottle because the translucent paint I use has the consistency of water so I have to do a very small portion at a time, trying to keep to the most level part of the bottle so the paint doesn't run down the sides before it dries. The creativity continues. . seaglasschristmastree #myrockpaperart #selftaughtartist #seaglasscollector #seaglassaddict #reuse #recycle #repurpose #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts #kokopelli 3/7/2024 0 Comments Kokopelli wind chime This is a special request I had for a wine bottle wind chime. It will have 3 kokopellis painted on it and chimes made from shells and bits collected from the beach. #reuse #recycle #repurpose #artist #myrockpaperart #createsomething #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts #kokopelli  Creativity isn't always about art. Today I had to get creative and find a better way to work on my wind chimes. So I created this workstation. Now I'm ready to string the various seashells, seed pods and other bits and pieces I pick up on my beach walks. I even pick up discarded fishing line to use as my string. . #reuse #recycle #repurpose #artist #myrockpaperart #beartistic #becreative #iamanartist #createsomething #exploreyourcreativity #recyclewinebottles #recyclebottleart #cutbottleart #cutwinebottle #cutwinebottle #cutbottlewindchime #winebottleart #winebottlecrafts |
