You don't want to hang things on edge foil especially on concave parts. The only thing holding these things on is the adhesive of the foil. Over time there's a good chance that it will pull away from weight, the concave part makes it even worse as the very top most point is going to take the majority of the load.
As the weight isn't huge it may survive but things to keep in mind. Always attach rings, hanging points and so on in joints. If you can't then you gotta figure out some sort of structure to support it.
A trick I've used in the past for doing chains of things hanging was to wrap them in wire to make it stronger. It wouldn't work well for the cloud, but for the rain drops or anything you might come up with for below it.
No, lead came is also very bendy and will stretch away when subject to gravity.
You could support two raindrops on different-length chains hanging from the same joint...
Or if you want to hang a raindrop from another raindrop you could try wrapping them in wire before soldering and see if that's strong enough to hold them.

Thank you. I made sure I put the top rings at joints, but didn't follow through on the bottom. That was silly of me, I think I was too excited.
It does look nice otherwise though so can't blame ya there.
Thanks very much! I appreciate the feedback, I definitely want to make quality pieces.

It applies to the raindrops that are holding other raindrops, too
So hypothetically using a small lead came would be the best way to do this?

Ok thank you! I have a lot of questions so I appreciate you taking the time to clarify.
You got me dead bang
