Wind Catchers

Now these 'chimes' dont tinkle so I call them Wind catchers...clever huh!?
These natural catchers are made with backyard creek wood and leopard tree seeds, and stilt root mangroves, blackbean pods and shells from Cairns. Another idea for workshops that leads to discussions on the beauty of our jam-packed, natural environment up here in the Far North.
