my dad gave me a huge ziplock bag full of old keys
I made a wind chime with them
I wish you could hear how it sounds
(if I were techie, I could upload a video)
I strung them in such a way that they all jangle on each other
he also gave me brass buttons from his uncle's uniform
I strung them up from this mustard tin I've been saving
you can see blue sky and green trees in the background
it's really here
spring, that is
winter seems like it was just a dream on a day like this

What a good idea for the keys!
I bet they do sound good. Neat idea!
Makes you wonder about all the doors and cupboards and clocks that those keys once fitted:)
brilliant wind chimes! glad the weather is good. here too. just a gorgeous 10 days. cold in the am, but summer-like in the pm. i LOVE spring.
Great idea for keys! I have a jar of keys myself. I keep thinking I'll work them into some art project. :)
you are simply the most resourceful artist ... this is so fun!
I love the sound of windchimes and yours are so unique and clever.
Love the mustard tin. I bet those keys sound great tinkling away in the wind. xox
Such pretty wind chimes, love the brass buttons. Who would have thought old keys could look , and sound so good when "artistically" strung together. Hope your 'crazy' weeks turn into 'calm' weeks. xx
Sweet upcycling !!
Happy Spring days, Kim!
Bloomin' brilliant ... love it Kimmie.
Also pleased to read - all in one visit, I'm still so behind with everyone - that after the horror of discovering your were employed at Walmart (!) you are now getting the card fraud thing sorted :)
