Here it is…October 1st. The first day of my favorite month. Basically one month before my favorite holiday and I couldn’t think of a better time to show you my latest creation. It’s a skeleton wind chime made only from silverware.
I don’t know how I’ve amassed so much silverware. *pause* Never mind. Yes I do. It’s because I was buying every silverware storage box I could find to make one of these (https://www.hometalk.com/diy/bedroom/furniture/vintage-luggage-from-a-flatware-storage-chest-26465947).Some were full and some were empty. Needless to say, I have more than enough silverware to serve all the Knights of the Round Table. Well, as long as are were no appetizers (more on that later). For the life of me, I can’t remember what caused this creation to come to fruition. All I remember thinking is that forks could work as a ribcage. (For the record I don’t normally sit around thinking of ways kitchen utensils could be used as parts of the human anatomy.) Enough of the backstory, or lack thereof. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!
After digging deep in the pile of silverware, I found a single serving spoon. This would act as the head and spine. First thing’s first-I had to flatten the “head.” (I used a rubber mallet to do this.)
Now it was time for the «ribcage.» To do this we were going to have to bend the tines of the forks. Hubby found an URO (unidentified round object) to bend the forks over that would create the perfect bend.
Since we didn’t need the whole fork, mainly just the tines, I marked where I wanted it cut and my hubby took it from there. (Neither he nor I trust me with the saw.)
Now I had the «head,» «spine,» and «ribcage.» I needed something for the “arms” to fit on so I opted to make a “collarbone”
