About this Product
This stunning stained glass wind chime is an original design. It features many unique qualities including several shades of beautiful stained glass, delicate vines, a three dimensional sprinkler, and most important are the glass water drops that create the chimes of this piece. The water drops were tumbled in a rock tumbler to give them a soft finish and strung together using fishing line, creating an extraordinarily serene sound as they gently clink together.
This glass artwork is completely hand made. This is my original design. Each piece of glass was hand selected, cut, shaped and assembled by me. Lots of love and care went into the crafting of this piece, ensuring it's quality.
Dimensions of watering can: 15.5 in length, 10.5 in height, 3.5 in width
Length from top of watering can to bottom of water droplets is approximately 2.5 ft.
All orders are carefully packaged to ensure it’s safety and to make sure it reaches you in excellent condition.
Stained glass artwork is made of glass and is held together with solder that contains lead (with the exception of a few items such as earrings). Always display out of the reach of children and pets and wash hands after handling.

Tranquil Mind
Meet the Maker
My name is Madilyn, I am 24 and have been creating stained glass since December 2020. I now make glass art full time and have never been happier.
I first discovered stained glass when I came across glass artists online and was instantly in love with the process, but it didn't occur to me that I could actually do it too. A few days before Christmas I mention to my mom how amazing I thought these glass artists were, and she surprised me Christmas morning with most everything I needed to get started and I have been obsessed ever since.
On the rare occasion I am not doing glass art, I enjoy spending time in nature with my boyfriend and my dog. I get a lot of inspiration from nature and the peace and quite is a great way to reset my brain.
How it’s Made
After designing, the first step is cutting the glass. I use a glass cutter that has a tiny wheel that scores the glass which controls how the glass breaks. After cutting all pieces by hand, the edges are smoothed out and shaped using a grinder with a diamond coated bit. Once they are grinded and the pieces fit together the edges of each individual piece are wrapped in copper foil tape. After all the pieces are foiled, they are soldered together. The foil is important because this is what the solder will adhere to. Once soldered, it's time to clean it up. I use steel wool on the solder lines to give them a nice shine and then I use patina. Patina is a chemical that the solder reacts with and causes it to change colors. I use black patina but there is also copper patina. After rinsing the excess patina, the piece is polished with wax and is complete.
For the vines, I twisted wire together and soldered the leaves to the wire, and then soldered the wire to the watering can.
For the raindrops, they are cut and grinded like the rest of the pieces, but instead of being foiled and soldered they are put into a rock tumbler which smooths them out. Once they finished tumbling, I drilled holes in each drop and strung them together using fishing line. I attached jump rings to the sprinkler head of the watering can and this is what I tied the droplet strands to.
