Every outpost chapel needs a mission bell.
I really wanted one that would ring, but it just wasn't to be. The bell needed to be so tiny! I tried making one out of Sculpy Clay, but there was no way I could make it ring. I found a tiny bell off of a Christmas ornament that was really pretty. Still no ring, though. It was very bright and brassy, and needed some toning down with some coppery and brown acrylics, and finally, a little turquoise "oxidization". I strung it on some brown 'rope' (thread) and placed it in the cradle, extending the toll rope down on the inside.
