No time for sewing today, so instead some snaps of an order I finished a little while ago which has just arrived at its destination - a custom mobile in bright modern colours.
Each custom mobile order starts out with my customer & I working together to pick colours, and these were the yummy ones we went with:
Then I got to work cutting out lots and lots of shapes, leaving lots of colourful scraps left over. I never use a pattern, just mix shapes and colours freehand to make each mobile unique.After much sewing, eventually all the discs were finished:
Then I arranged them into strands and stitched them all onto their ribbons ready for hanging in their new home:
Finally I took lots of snaps to record the piece before I put it in the post to its new owner!
These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis was the project that first brought me to your blog! Love them & hope to get around to trying this myself sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun job, surrounded by all of those beautiful colors! Looks like a lot of work too; I'm sure there's lots of satisfaction having it done!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours! How do you attach the ribbon -do you sew it down the back of the discs? X
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! As I mentioned, this isn't one of my project tutorials, it's a design I created to sell in my shop :) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25309176 The mobiles are double sided, with the ribbon running through the middle.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful riot of colour

I've never seen anything like these mobiles. I hope they prove to be very popular for you!
ReplyDeleteLovely, colourful, and I'm sure they would make a feature anywhere.
So pretty! They remind me of peacock feathers! :)
