These stunning handcrafted instruments are forged with hand tools, fired in a kiln, and individually tuned by a master bellmaker until the tone is clear and true. Each is finished with a copper patina which gives incredibly rich colours and textures that I can only describe as rainbow coloured moon craters (see close up photo for details in natural light)! The sounder inside is reclaimed oak.
These bells are hand forged from old animal bells, something that I find entirely enchanting in itself. They each have such wonderful character ~ they look like they have a tale to tell...and they do!
Each of these bells has a beautiful range of natural colours, tones and textures. Bells relate with the Air element, the season of Spring, the direction of East and new beginnings. They're so very alive, fresh, rich, and lush, just like everything should be when one celebrates new beginnings. String, ribbons and fibers all traditionally relate with the Spring and the element of Air. Copper is a conductor of energy and relates with Venus/Air element.
I love them, I really do, they're so pleasing to the eye, pleasant in the hand, easy on the ears, calming and clearing, and sound incredible too!
This listing is for ONE of the bells seen here in the photos.
