Windchime

Handmade Terracotta Windchime

Designing, Creating, Firing, Scrubbing, Painting, Repainting, Varnishing, Beading, Threading, Hanging, and finally Clicking!! Phewwww!! So, here i squeezed my month-long effort in just one sentence. Well I also don't want to miss out patience, sweat, irritation (when paint use to chip off), shopping, sweeping, and the joy of watching fishes dancing and jingling around :)

It's a 20-piece handmade and hand painted terracotta wind chime with bells threaded through the fish web and colorful beads adding that extra charm. Its a beautiful decoration piece and apt for adding ethnic look to your living room space.

These fishes are made using a popular slab building pottery technique. Each piece is crafted with hand...i mean drawn, cut, and smoothed 24 times (I had created 24 fishes but finally got 20 out of bisque firing bed) its an amazing feeling when you see these little fishes playing around in joyful manner when the fan is switched on. Happy Jingling :)
