Sea glass wind chime for our friends

I have finally prepared this wind chime for our friends who live out east.  We visited their summer place a good many years ago and I collected this sea glass while we were there.  I promised to make them something with the pieces and though it is very late I am very happy with it.  It was my third attempt at securing the sea glass.  I had originally wire wrapped all of the pieces but the wire did not hold up (coloured aluminum) and so I had started over with different wire.  When I revisited that process I was less happy with how they were turning out so I searched online for ways if securing glass without wire.  I found several "new to me" ways and chose to use cording and glue for this project.  I added the marbles at the bottom for a bit of weight.  I found the wire wrapping for them on line - easier than it looks!!  I used a double length of this fish fly wrapping cord and tied double square knots at each stop.  I started at the bottom and tied a set double square knots to secure the marble, left a bit of cording and make another set of double square knots, added the sea glass and then tied another set of double square knots.  I did add ridges to the glass using a drill press and diamond bit so the cording 
 would sit more tightly around the glass.  I just kept tying knots and adding glass until I had created the first row.  I did the same for the next two rows.  I added a little dollop of GOOP at each juncture where the glass and knots met which secured the knots to each other and to the glass.  It is barely noticeable.  The video I watched used E6000 instead.  Once all three were ready I tied them to a little piece of drift wood.  I braided a hanger and added little dollops of GOOP to all those connections as well then trimmed the ends of my cording.  I did add a swivel joint on the hanger which should allow the chime to respond to the wind more easily.  I am happy with how it worked out!!  I will be packaging it and sending it off to them this week!!
