Autumn Leaves Capiz Chime

The colorful leaves shimmer and dance in the wind. Capiz are farmed in Indonesia and every bit is used. The pieces are carefully sorted, dried, sliced, shaped, sanded and dyed. Strung together with strong, invisible, nylon cord, the thin, flat translucent pieces provide luminous color. In the 1500s, capiz were used as windowpanes in houses; now they are used in all sorts of home decorations, including lampshades and vases and (of course) windchimes! This wonderful capiz windchime was handcrafted with pride by artisans in Bali.
