Making art from trash!
Pistachio Shell Windchime by Knoe Studios
When I look at something, I automatically see the many other things it could become. For example, the pieces of cardboard that come in a box with a set of dishes, or a new coffee maker, can become a marvelous form for a piece of paper mache sculpture. This can be quite a hindrance, when you are trying to keep a clean house, free of clutter. . . .
If you are like me, you can see the beauty in most things . . . things like PISTACHIO SHELLS! Truth be told, I don't even love the way pistachios taste, but their beautiful little half shells are spectacular. Whenever I can (read: whenever it doesn't look too strange), I'll save things like pistachio shells for future crafting.
This windchime was made from these pretty little pieces of trash, combining the natural with metal objects and chain. The sound of the shells alone is very soft, so the keys were added for a bit more music and texture.
This craft combined my love of natural items, like seeds and shells, with my jewelry making skills, like soldering.
