Creating Kathleen's Mobile

Over the summer I spent some time crafting a mobile for one of my new favorite little ladies, Baby Kathleen.  I hope you enjoy this bright and whimsical mobile - I am pleased with how it turned out.
Bright felt is a must. 


Fabric scraps are also helpful to have around. 

Did you really think I could craft something without a little bit of sparkle?  Please. 


Building a bird. 



Baby girl has an owl theme . 

Fun fabrics and shapes for flowers and leaves.

Owls are finished!

Foliage and fauna is ready to be strung. 

Two types of birds make a mobile double the fun. 

That bird is checking out the Chicago skyline. 


Tada.   Finished!



Mixing elements - felt, sequins, ribbon, glass and wire - adds unexpected movement. 

A bit of detail work. 
I am so happy my little Labor of Love has a happy home.
