wearing wind chimes like perfume

[asakiyume]

I heard wind chimes today on my walk, but saw nothing but a sugar maple and a house with flaking paint. The wind was up, and I thought,

Somewhere there's a woman who wears wind chimes dangling from her ears and wrists and maybe from each twisting braid, if she has braids. A spirit wind surrounds her all the time, so the chimes are ringing all the time. She changes them all the time--some days silvery tones, some days heavy porcelain ones--they have colors and create an aura, just like perfume.

Nice! That would make a lovely story.

I'm admiring (and yearning after!) your word counts these days. I'm at a point where any emotional setback i suffer in the day absolutely kills my urge to write--and that fact is causing me some degree of self doubt.

But yeah, I'd like to use a character like this in a story.
