This garden stake with obsidian wind chime features a copper fairy with wing that is patterned after the leaf of the valerian plant. Valerian is a very calming & soothing herb to the central nervous system. She tiptoes & whispers her way through the garden, serving as a symbol & a reminder for taking the time out to do the things that you love. As she walks her path the way is lit by the music of the fairy chime she holds in her hand. It reminds her to take time out for herself, to enjoy a bath, a massage, or to just sit in the sun. The melody of the chime helps her to stay grounded amongst the fast pace of our over-stimulated culture. Semi-precious stones are strung around the Valerian Fairie’s waist & ankle. Each wind chime is constructed from a eucalyptus pod drilled & strung with tiny obsidian fingers. Our new line of fairie wind chimes creates a clear & magical sound, distinctly like fairy bells carried in the wind. These fairie chimes are to be hung indoors or out-of-doors. Natural variations in eucalyptus pods & obsidian shards will occur. Obsidian wind chimes are made exclusively by my friends & fellow artists, Deborah & Richard Bloom, Portland, Oregon. We have collaborated on the pieces noted & all three of us fully participate in the creation of each one. While obsidian is hard & doesn’t break easily, it is not indestructible. Chimes should be hung from a secure hook where they may swing freely in the wind. A location with minimal direct ultraviolet exposure is best. This stake can be used in a birthday cake, bowl of sand, in the garden or a potted plant. SIZE: 8.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. With the garden stake the piece measures 13 inches long.
