Whispering Wind Chime With Ceramic Reproduction of the Mechanic Street Covered Bridge

Drawing of Bridge #31, Mechanic Street Covered Bridge, Langcaster, NH, USA

Claremont Period, 1998.

I needed to make a mould to make the ceramics I was going to use for my ceramic painting.  So I grabbed a spaghetti pot and pressed the bottom gently into some plaster.  The result was a dish-like disk.  Then I got a bag of liquid clay, called slip and poured it into the mould.  Then I drilled the holes for the wind chime you see above.  I discovered that the dish made a marvelously aerodynamic shape.  As the breeze blew by it it started to spin.  So I suspended it on a fishing swivel.  As it spun the chimes spread out, so what I had made was a wind chime that didn't make sounds in the wind, but only the slightest breezes when other wind chimes were still silent.

In the top photo you see the wind chime in a brisk breeze.
