There is a magical way to liven up your garden or any area which you feel is dead and can do with sound and ambiance. Wind Chimes are an amazing tool to do just that. They are guaranteed to bring harmony to your life and usher in peace with soothing sounds.
Depending on your personal preference, whether it be bold sounds or soft tinkles, you can find sizes, styles and shapes suited for any garden or home.
This is how you start:
There are some techniques that will help get the optimum sounds from your chimes. Walk around your garden each day for a period of time. Early morning, midday and early evening. Let the wind touch your face and body so you can observe the directions and speed of the wind. Does your garden have gentle breezes in some areas? And where is the strongest wind? You need this information so that you could place your chimes to harvest different types of wind. Your main aim for your garden is to use the direction and speed to create a cacophony of sounds which are pleasing and not aggravating.
Choose different types of chimes that are durable for outdoor weather and are also pleasing to the eye. Try not to overdo it by mixing your materials too much. Wood, glass and aluminum are the best material to give you crystal clear sounds.
Try and play with height and depth. Place your chimes in a line, starting from the highest place in your garden (maybe a deck) and then place another chime lower (maybe on a tree) and then place a smaller one much lower (maybe in a flower bed) to create many different sounds at once. This will create a wind orchestra for you to sit back and enjoy.
If you are tired of a particular sound of a chime, don't pack it away. Let is sing some more but place something behind it or in front of it. Maybe a dream catcher or a garden sculpture. Let the wind bounce of of these objects to touch your chime maybe in a gentler way or stronger way.
Traffic can also be lessened with chimes if they are placed around the area where the noise is most concentrated. Place strong fluted chimes amongst bushes and tall plants on the perimeter and see how muffled the traffic noise becomes. You can also place a water feature with chimes in the area of your garden where noise from cars or people are the most heard.
The wind has been blowing for eons and will blow for eons more. Why not harvest a little for your own pleasure by creating music with wind chimes. Let your stresses and strains of the day melt away by listening to the wind gently pushing its way through the chimes. Hang a small one in the main entrance of your home so the wind could play your visitors a welcoming song and greet them as the leave. - 30228
