misha’s magical mobile.

Someone on twitter mentioned mobile-making, and I remembered I never put the one I made on the internet. I intend to make SO MANY MORE. This particular one has no plot, it was an experiment I made for my boyfriend for his birthday.  But I think they're an awesome medium from non-linear story-telling and I really want to experiment more with that!

Making this creature was very memorable, for one because for one I'd never made a mobile before, but also because it was the very first piece of artwork I made after the house fire I had last summer.  I sublet my boyfriends roommates bedroom while the roommate was out of town, so I could spread what was left of  my smokey, soggy belongings  across it without putting anyone in any respiratory danger.  (Okay, those belongings being %90 artwork and DVD covers...) Which conveniently gave me some privacy from him for this secret project, since we were unexpectedly sharing a single room living situation.

But also emorable because I think this project was the first time in the history of my entire life that I had to go out and buy every single tool and material necessary.  In takes way more planning.

The humans are Misha and I.  I'm especially proud of the rabbits, which I unfortunately could not get a very good picture of.

Next one I make I'm going to have been extension wires than embroidery thread.
