Rain Chains Combine Art With Design
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010There is something strikingly beautiful about rain. Little drops of clear water that fall gently from the heavens above. They cleanse the earth and purify the air. All round there is this smell of freshness and sense of rejuvenation, after a rain shower. But in the day and age we live, rainwater is not only nature’s priceless gift; it is also a precious commodity. After all there is no life without water and water when it is given, should not be allowed to be scattered away. Rainwater harvesting has become very popular in many countries and Japan has shown the world how to combine art with design, with the aid of rain chains.

A rain chain (much like a normal chain) is a string of links. The peculiarity of a rain chain is that it leads water down from a higher level to a lower. Instead of a downspout, rainwater can be channeled through a rain chain to a catch basin that could be placed at the bottom of the contraption. Now a splendid variety of copper rain chains are available at rainchainsdirect.com. So pretty are the patterns that they could even adorn the front porch. Choose between floral designs, styled cups or ornamental links. Place them on the shed outside and water the plants with accumulated rainwater, if you so wish. The fusion of fine art with utility objects makes for fabulous results. Drop by at rainchainsdirect.com today, decorate your home and recycle water. Kill two birds with one stone, we hear you say?
