Mermaid Mobile

Now... this is up to the maker. You can make a more simple, mobile, like the one in the image, where it's stationary and hangs... or you can go all out and try to make a balancing mobile where it's free-moving. From what I've heard, for the balancing kind, you keep adding things to add to the weight on certain strings until it all balances out. I think I'm going to try for that, but if all else fails, there's a backup plan. haha. You can even make a spiral mobile if you want.

Minimum size for the base frame is 6 inches wide if you are doing a flat mobile. 4 inches diameter will be the minimum if you are doing a ring-based mobile. If you are going to use paper, please use quality paper that won't get all crinkled and folded just from bumping into itself. You can use whatever medium you would like. Clay, shells, glass, beads, etc... When you are packaging it to mail it, make sure your strings aren't going to get tangled and pieces won't get broken or fall off.

And, of course, mermaid-themed for this one. =) You will have a month to create from the signup deadline should you feel the need to experiment with the idea, but feel free to send beforehand. =)
