Vintage glass flower frog turned wind chime

Large glass flower frog

I used a ceramic B for the center since her last name begins with a B.

I strung glass beads that I had on hand for the beauty of them and also because they helped make a really nice "clinkety clink" sound against the ceramic B.

She hung the wind chime from a shepherd's crook in one of her "healing garden" (this is a garden I helped her with when she was having some health issues).

Hi there, I'm a new poster here. My friend Candy (Junk Sophisticate) saw this project on my blog and told me I should share it over here.

My mother and I have been collecting vintage glass flower frogs for years, and a while back we started making wind chimes out of them. This is one I made for my sweet neighbor for her birthday. On windy days, if I'm standing in my back yard, I can hear it clinking in the wind. :)

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Hey...I know you! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! I agree completely with LuAnn's comment regarding finding new ideas for old items. That's why when I saw your creation I wanted you to share. You've made the prettiest little piece of art out of this old flower frog! Love how it's personalized too.

I hope you choose to post more of your creations. I know you got it in you! Oh, and I purchased an identical flower frog from a sale today and thought of your wind chime. :)
Take care,
Candy
