This mobile is made of laser cut acrylic and is about ten feet
(three meters) tall with stainless steel fixtures. Took a long,
long time to figure out how to best make it and the next mobile will go
much quicker. Sorry, the pictures aren't very good for this as
the backgrounds distract a lot from it but there is on issue:
Where can I find an open area that just happens have a hook high above
the ground?
Well, you'll get a pretty idea what it's like and
maybe some day, better pictures will be forthcoming. All told,
it's about ten feet tall by eight feet wide (3m*2.5m). In the
slide show below, all pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them.
Some have asked, "Where are you going to put it?" And the only
answer is, "I have no idea. It's too big." But we'll figure
out something.

A few notes, in picture #4, you'll see how
pale the blue acrylic is. It was so disappointing as the blue was
so washed out, "What a waste of money buying this." I thought.
But it turned out interesting in that when this color rotates slightly
(picture #5),
the blue starts to glow like the blue in a glacier. Picture #7
is clear acrylic with colored edges. It's hard to
catch in a photo but this also glows when turned at a slight
angle.
This utilizes a crystal growth program to create the design.
Picture six uses a similar crystal growth method.
Number eight looks like it's a mini-mobile, that's exactly what
it is. Four levels of mobiles in this and they all rotate and
balance independently of each other. That piece took a lot of time
to figure out how to make it work.
All these pieces are laser cut acrylic using the Flamingo
software. The pictures below are videos of it turning in the
breezes.
