This artist is retiring. We are takin customer orders for all designs through Monday, April 15. Those orders will ship in 2-3 weeks.
The 3" longstrips of glass are made from recycled glass bottles that are cut and fused in a kiln. Glass will vary from chime to chime but will be a mix of mostly blue, sometimes other cool colors.
The honeybee is cut out of steel and powder coated. It's a sturdy top that will last a long time!

Bottle Benders
In 1970 Jean & Ted solved the riddle for making awesome glass bottle chimes. Their first chimes were Michelob beer bottles melted & hung off a tree branch. Over the years they've turned just about every kind of bottle into a wind chime. Some were more successful than others, but after 50 years they've perfected the art.
Now just a small team of five, Ted & Jean work with their daughters & daughter-in-law to create each wind chime in their Georgia studio.
