more mobiles
February 24th, 2008
The mobile swap is “over,” but I am still working on mine and I know there are other procrastinators out there scrambling to finish. So I thought I’d post a few more lovely ones from the flickr mobile swap group this week. The four above stuck out because of their unique construction. The first is a promotional piece from Hatch Designs that was posted by Dave from grainedit.com. I don’t think it’s actually for the swap, but a bird mobile that pops out of egg carton material is too fantastic to not show you. The next is by Elizabeth from e p i t a. It’s not finished, but what a great idea–like sticking baseball cards in your dirt bikes, but in mobile form. The bottom left picture is from Terry at easebetweennotches.blogspot.com. Her idea was to make a mobile that looked like a bouquet of flowers turned upside down. It turned out great and the cone hides all the messy construction bits but still looks super stylish. Well done! The last is a simple felt garland hung from one end. Elizabeth from ohfransson.com used a pattern from a japanese craft book to make this sweet little mobile (that doubles as a garland). These and all the other fantastic mobiles are on the flickr mobile swap group. Mine will be done soon, I hope. I think it’s probably in bad taste for the swap organizer to be late for the swap, but it’s my party. I’ve had the pattern done for a week now, but keep changing my mind when it comes to what material to use. It’s time to just fish or cut bait.
good luck finishing your mobile! just wanted to let you know that the mobile swap has been so fun, and really enjoyed being a part of it! i love going to the flickr pool and seeing what everyone has made. thanks for putting it all together!
Hi there, I have not yet received my mobile and I wonder, if you still have all the e-mails of the participants, if you could send a reminder to everyone? I still hope to receive one. Thank you.
I have to admit that I’m one of the procrastinators, too. I’ve never been late on a swap before and I feel terrible! I’m mailing tomorrow, though! The mobiles so far are so wonderful–thanks for organizing the swap.
yes, i am still not finished with my mobile, but the pieces are all in one place at least. gives me something to look forward to doing this weekend between law school homeworks.
The mobiles you’ve shown are fantastic! Out of this world fantastic!
