Mobiles

I made a mobile. This is the first mobile I have ever made that I can remember. I wanted to go ahead and post pictures even though it's dark and stormy today, so I may be back with better pics later.
I used a combination of new and used materials. Everything hangs from a flea market yardstick, cut in three pieces. I drilled tiny holes to install screw eyes for stringing up the objects. The objects include: buttons from my mom's stash, twigs (some painted), tin can lids, plastic milk caps, rocks, washers, shapes molded from Sculpey (which we've enjoyed using in the past), cardboard roll flowers, drinking straws, cardboard food packaging, and other random plastic packaging.
The challenging part now will be finding a place to hang it!

If you're interested in constructing a mobile, here are a few places to look for inspiration:
Found object mobile at Bookhou Craft Projects.
Fabric bird and branch mobile at Spool.
Felt and wire mobile at Soozs.
Modern baby shower mobile (doesn't really have anything to do with babies, just bright-colored circles) and Ribbon mobile at Martha Stewart.
