CREATING A RAINCROSS CRAFTWORKS BELL STAND

Pattern sized to ensure proportions and dimensions stage bell perfectly and allow for easy ringing.

High quality construction with complex cuts and joinery techniques to ensure strength and longevity.

Involved modeling and texturizing techniques create silhouette and surface mimicking centuries of wear and weathering.

 SPANISH COLONIAL MISSION BELLS

If you need a bell for your raincross or simply for home decor, I usually have a few available. If not, I can source one.
The bells I specialize in are of bronze in a very decorative Spanish Colonial style, handcrafted by a foundry in Guadalajara, Mexico in the 1950s.

 
 
 
 
 

 “Wow!”
