In 1995, a friend suggested we try selling our mobiles made of driftwood, shells and beach glass. After getting an enthusiastic response we decided to turn passion into livelihood, and almost immediately began our shift toward glass to delight both the ears and the eyes. Now as Goose Rocks Designs we develop and handcraft glass wind chimes that bring sound and color to life.
We frost and polish the frames and glass in our chimes using a 48-hour process we developed which creates a unique luster that complements our fresh contemporary designs.
Our chimes may be hung outdoors, although we advise placing chimes with wooden frames in a sheltered area. The glass in our chimes is durable under normal weather conditions. In extreme weather and high winds, chimes should be moved to a protected site. The line we use to string our chimes is made from a woven polyethylene designed to withstand years of UV exposure, and each chime is shipped in a corrugated box packed in water-soluble biodegradable material made from vegetable starch. We include a brass cup hook in every box, and sell replacement pieces for $3.00 per piece should they be required.
We offer a wide selection of chimes that are perfect for home or garden, and each one is handcrafted in our studio in Arundel, Maine.
