Landscape sculpture hand-crafted by Mark Weldon, on Bit of Earth Farm
This is a unique, hand-crafted landscape sculpture. Each part of this garden bell was locally sourced. It’s made from 6 x 8 and 6 x 6 smooth cedar beams, finished with durable natural oil. It features plates, caps, and hangers fashioned from repurposed steel, and offers the distinctive look of square-headed hardware. The two functional bells are heavy repurposed canisters, each with a deep resonant tone when struck. The piece is 140 inches at the peak, nearly 12 feet. It can be secured to concrete or a building, or be mounted 3 feet in the ground to stand a little over 100 inches tall.
You can see from the photos (supported by a rod and rope for the photo) its size compared to two six-foot-tall men!

How interesting. Does the bell chime in the wind? This would be a great addition to a school, don’t you think?
It chimes when the bells are rung, I suppose a wind strong enough to move the bells would sound an alarm! Would love to see this in front of a school.
