Dylan Trees saw the mobile in California and mailed it to me. I had mentioned that I wanted to try to make one; this took care of the skeleton and left the rest up to me: it just has little clips on it, from which one can attach anything.
My pen pal, Julie, has been sending me beautiful Polaroids every now and then, for the past two years. I chose ten from my now-sizable stack and clipped them on. The whole thing is so light that even the tiniest draft from opening my door can make them flutter around like silent wind chimes.
Heartfelt thanks to both of you* for making the first thing I see when I wake up not a white ceiling and wall.
* And thank you to one Very Tall Boy for helping me with the ceiling hook and hanging it up there for me!
hi. I did an internet search to find out how to make a polaroid mobile and i came across you blog post. that mobile looks great! I've been meaning to make one for my newborn nephew of all the new people in his life. Can you please teach me how you made that? What are your materials? and what tools did you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
I tried to send you and email to konichiwa@tokyohanna.com. Is that correct?

Hi James! I really hope you check back and see this comment. I just tried logging into my konichiwa address and it's not accepting my password!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the mobile is a blank one with little clips that you can buy. I just found one exactly like it online: http://www.ehometrends.com/hanging-mobile-photo-clip-post-card-holder-notes-n.html then I just hung Polaroids from each clip that my pen pal has taken over time and mailed to me. And ta-da! Very easy :)
I'm going to try sorting out my email issue; again, hopefully you see this and it was helpful. Thanks for commenting!
