| Three strand bottle cap wind Chime with Flute and recycled bell
All supplies except eight big crystals, ribbon and the nylon thread are recycled. I got the bottle caps from our local scrap dealer who comes to collect stuff from our neighbourhood ( the kabadiwala), took the help of a young boy ( our electrician) to flatten the caps and punch holes with a nail and a hammer..........after that it was painting the caps on both sides with acrylic colors ( this did not take much time )
........................., I used metallic silver, pearl green and pearl blue to paint the bottle caps, then used glass colors over them, created textures with black outliner. I love using glass colors over metal and glass and they give a lovely glazed effect. For embellishing these I have used sequins, seed beads, kundan stones, glass beads, shiny butterflies, glittery leaves and chunky glitter ( everything that shines and reflects found a way on them). Hardly any two caps are similar in design, when I ran out of glittery stuff and patience, I used a cotton bud to dot some with metallic paints. Threaded the caps with nylon thread and used bells saved from old curtain hangings and a broken chime. I have used ribbons in blue and silver tied to the hanging rods ( read one recycled flute from 'krishna' and a scrap piece of wood colored with a dry brush technique)
