"Indigo Harvest" Rattan Shibori Seed Chime
How to play: Hold the handle or support and gently shake by hand to make the seed shells sound. This is a hand-played percussion piece; wind will not activate it.
A handcrafted mobile of rattan, seeds, and indigo fabric, centered on a miniature woven basket.
The Story: Village Life
There is a simple beauty in gathering what nature provides. "The Indigo Harvest" recalls a walk through a traditional village, where baskets are woven by hand and fabric is dyed with plants.
Suspended from a rattan ring, a miniature woven basket sits at the heart of this design. It is surrounded by a cascade of smooth dark chestnuts and textured wild pods. The chime is finished with a strip of indigo-patterned fabric (Shibori style), adding a soft decorative finish.
Key Features
- Miniature Rattan Basket: The centerpiece is a tiny hand-woven rattan cage/basket, adding a three-dimensional architectural element to the mobile.
- Indigo "Shibori" Tail: The decorative fabric at the bottom is a piece of blue and white patterned fabric (resembling traditional Batik or Shibori), adding soft texture and a pop of color.
- Mixed Seed Textures: A rich combination of smooth, shiny dark seeds (like chestnuts) and large, rough light brown husks at the bottom. The contrast is visually satisfying.
- Blue Bead Accents: Detailed with small turquoise/blue beads that echo the color of the fabric tail, tying the design together.
- Natural Rattan Hoop: The structure hangs from a sturdy woven rattan ring wrapped in blue and natural thread.
