Spuds Spinners new wind spinners optical illusions are handcrafted from the same top quality stainless steel as our line of kinetic garden art wind spinners. The stainless steel wind spinners are powder-coated for durability and a highly reflective surface, giving them a platinum look.
In addition, our kinetic garden art wind spinners are handcrafted in copper as well as stainless steel. Genuine quartz crystal balls create the 3D optical illusion. In the copper wind spinners, a copper wind catcher (called a "wing") at the top of the spinner, catches the wind and turns the copper spinner. The quartz crystal ball appears to be moving up or down the copper wind spinner. At first glance, you wonder what will happen when the quartz crystal ball reaches the end of the copper spinner, but it never does! It is a true optical illusion.
Copper is an excellent choice for kinetic garden art. Copper is the most versatile and durable of all metals. Copper can withstand extreme environments and is corrosion-resistant. After one hundred years of exposure to sea winds, heavy rains and the beating sun, the copper skin of the Statue of Liberty has grown more beautiful, and it has remained virtually intact. Your copper wind spinner will remain a stunning showpiece in your garden art for many years.
Pure quartz crystal balls create the optical illusion in most of our copper and platinum spinners. These balls are manufactured by pulverizing pure, natural quartz crystal, melting the powder down, and forming a solid quartz crystal ball. Pure quartz makes these crystal balls relatively tough and scratch resistant. Extremely clear, quartz crystal balls are beautifuly reflectivel in sunlight!
