This is the first project I did in my second year of Product Design & Craft where I created a wind chime inspired by the tree in my back garden and traditional chimes in Asia. For this I used copper as I liked the way it tarnished over time and the sound copper makes when when pieces hit each other. Furthermore, since this was my first metal project, I thought copper would be good to use as it is easy to manipulate.
Bellow are a few image of the project and the final product.
