A Volkswagen Bus glass fusion wind chime is a whimsical, artistic piece, blending nostalgia with vibrant glass art. Imagine a handcrafted glass rendering of a classic VW Bus, made with fused glass techniques that give the design a smooth, glossy finish and bright, translucent colors.
The main body of the wind chime is a colorful glass depiction of a vintage Volkswagen Bus.
Below the VW Bus, is a series of colorful, delicate glass pieces dangle as the actual chimes.
The fused glass chimes is attached to wire, allowing them to sway in the wind. When the wind blows, the chimes gently collide, producing a soft, melodic tinkling sound, enhanced by the varying thickness and shapes of the glass pieces.
Overall, this glass fusion wind chime is a beautiful mix of retro automotive charm and modern glass art, perfect for hanging in a garden, porch, or window where it can catch both light and breeze.
It is my mission to create useful and unique dishes and bowls. Working with art glass is very rewarding by picking out color combinations that compliment each other. Each piece is cut by hand and carefully placed in the kiln to get fused together. The second time in the kiln the piece of glass gets shaped over a mold.
I also like to recreate recycled bottled glass into functional art. There are plenty of empty bottles around. It is rewarding to give new life to the old bottles by making them into cutting boards, candle holder or even plates and bowels.

My greatest love is for the Sea. The ocean, the coral reefs, the sea creatures - these are my inspiration when I create with glass. I'm fascinated with the glass melting process.
I participated in a Glass Fusion seminar. A while after that, I became the proud owner of my very first kiln. To learn, experiment, and improve is my never-ending goal. For that reason, each piece is unique; a reflection of my experience and ability at the time of creation. I will always be a student.In drawing inspiration from the Sea, I hope my designs are simple, beautiful, and above all else - functional. I hope you enjoy using my glass creations as much as I enjoy making them!- Vera
