Windchime with terracotta pots – crea-cross loud

Yay! Thursday and so it’s Crea-cross time.
This week’s prompt is Loud!  I’m so curious what you will all come and link! I made a windchime for my terras this week!

Loud… what was I thinking?

So, vlogging isn’t really my thing, so what was I thinking when I put this challenge onto the list?  How can you draw ‘loud’.
Crocheting ‘loud’ isn’t really possible, is it?! I was a bit angry with myself, but hey it’s a challenge, isn’t it?!

Windchime

Than my eye fell on the windchime in my kitchen.  It’s the most stupid place for a chime, there’s never any wind and so it makes no sound.
My sister has a large windchime on her porch with bamboo sticks. It makes lots of noise when the wind blows.  I love that sound, it is very relaxing.  In our student home we had a smaller chime near the window, that one made a lovely tinkling sound.

Cleaning out our old garage at the back for the party of my son in a few weeks, I found those little terracotta pots. Maybe I could turn those into a self-made chime?!

In the craftroom

I duck into my craftroom (ahhh, still love the sound of being able to say that!) and foudn the right colors acrylic paint and some wooden pearls of the right size.
