This one also has the “entity” label, because I feel it hints at something organic. I painted it orange on a whim and I think that could really work in some settings, but it not be as versatile as black. Of course, against the black background, it is quite striking. It is about 14 inches high by 7 or 8 inches wide.

Wire Mobile: “Angular and Round”
This wire mobile is a bit more “designed” from the beginning in the sense that I was going for a specific look.

All-wire Mobile #2
Here’s another example of an all-wire mobile, which has been a style/material I’ve been experimenting with in the past couple of weeks. I really like spirals, arcs, squiggles, and geometric shapes, so I find this appealing. The wire is galvanized steel, 14 gauge, lightly spray painted with black paint and a touch of orange in a couple of places for highlights. It’s about 18 inches high, wide, and deep.

Here’s a quick tutorial by Mark Leary on how to create a simple mobile.
