I've completed a prototype for a new mobile. I am pretty satisfied with it but still unsure if I want to offer it on the shop or not. The main issue is the metal wire. The mobile I currently offer is light enough that floral wire does the trick, but for this one I had to resort to piano wire... which is pretty difficult to bend into a smooth curve. I finally made a jig out of a washer and random metal fastener I found in my toolbox to keep the loops consistent.
The main objective with this little experiment was to balance objects of equal size in a dynamic and seemingly precarious composition in space. It would definitely be more successful with more pieces, consequently with more chances for long cantilevers. Maybe sometime I'll get around to expanding on it.
