Will of the Wind features Grace Note Wind Chimes

July 26, 2009 by Jan

Will of the Wind was on the the first companies to carry Grace Note Wind Chimes. We feel that the quality and sound is simply the best and our customers agree.
Designed for ultimate clarity of tone and resonance, these Grace Note, tuned wind chimes, feature a unique pinned suspension device combined with superior materials and craftsmanship. Grace Note chimes incorporates the use of a pin inside the tubes at the resonate node. The resonate node is the spot on the tube that doesn’t vibrate. The pin eliminates the interference of the string against the tubes. This innovative design provides a longer and clearer resonance. Engraving available for special gifts, occasions, family and friends . Will of the Wind now provides free shipping on all Grace Note Wind Chimes. Click here to listen and compare the beautiful Grace Note Wind Chime tunings.
These precision tuned wind chimes have earned the reputation of being the most musical wind chimes on the market. Grace Note’s Wind Chimes are available in 9 sizes and 7 different tunings. Classic Wind Chimes offer a broad spectrum of tones and prices fit most everyone’s needs. All tunings are in the Key of C, with corresponding notes and chord engraved on one side of each aluminum wind plate. Classic Wind Chimes are handcrafted from thick tempered aluminum tubing with a soft brushed finish. Each chime now features recycled composite lumber strikers. Composite lumber is not only environmentally friendly but it also creates a softer contact sound when applied to wind chime tubing. These strikers are not subject to drying or cracking and require no maintenance.

Grace Note Wind Chimes are available in ten sizes

of butterfly kites. The result was out of this world. They chose an assortment

of hand-painted Bali Butterfly Kites, Karner Blue Butterfly kites, Swallowtail

Mystic Butterfly Kites. Colorful tables were decorated with bright pink and

purple linens and placed on o floor that captured the look of the cool, green

someone’s birthday party a huge success.

Decorating with Kites

September 27, 2008 by Jan

Want to add a special touch to a room in your home? Maybe you are planning an event, setting up a display for a school or a library or just have the urge to do something new. How about expressing your creative aspirations with kites? The kite has become a respectable new member in the world of design. Kites have been used to decorate homes, doctor offices, clinics, libraries, classrooms, aquariums, lobbies, and a whole host of events.

In several healing centers kites have been used to brighten up the space for the patients. This year students and faculty at San Diego State University created the “Visual Therapy Sky Mural”. Student Lauren Holland spent long hours in the SDSU Fitness Clinic receiving therapy. The room was so dull and uninviting that Lauren dreamed of creating something wonderful for future patients to be surrounded by. The idea for the “Visual Therapy Sky Mural” began to blossom in her mind.

The Faculty/Student Mentoring Program in the College of Arts and letters took the project on. Professor Iisdro D. Ortiz Ph.D. helped to raise funds and a whole host of volunteers joined in to help with the project. The “Visual Therapy Sky Mural” is a child’s dreamscape of a Pacific sky and sandy beach that runs the length of the 26-foot ceiling and continues onto the side wall. The ceiling is adorned with a beautiful arrangement of butterfly kites, ship kites and airplane kites that complement the mural. The results are stunning.

School teacher and librarians are using kites for special projects and displays. This year insects, butterflies and birds have been big hits. The kites make teaching and learning fun.

Aquariums use a variety of fish kites to highlight their themes. Imagine numerous Angel Fish Kites, Orca Whale Kites, Dolphin Kites, and even Octopus Kites decorating a major aquarium lobby. It really is impressive.

Grocery stores have even used kites as decoration. Hand painted Bali Butterfly Kites are stunning when used as wall art. Customers love to have the added touch of color during their shopping experience. The Bali Butterfly kites are available in several colors and the wing spans up to seven feet.

Are you planning a birthday party for a child? Little boys are wild about the pirate ship kite, the F-16 kite, the Red Baron kite and the ever popular Kitty Hawk kite. When the party is over, use the kite to decorate their room. You will be a hit for years to come. Miniature kites make great favors for kids of any age and make for wonderful entertainment.

If you are decorating your home, office, school or event, be sure to explore the possibility of using kites as art.

Will of the Wind sells kites for the whole family with free shipping on orders over 49.95.
