Making a Munari Mobile For Baby

i finished the topponcino
so now it is time to make the Munari Mobile

first i needed to find the quintessential
clear "glass" sphere
since it is close to the holiday season
i figured i'd be able to find clear glass ornaments
and i did!

i found an awesome clear plastic ornament
for $1.00 at our local "Christmas Tree Shop"

i'll have to remove the tinsel
but that is easy

i'm going to use this instructional sheet
to make the mobile

//i just went back to find the link and it is miekewillems.blogspot.com
//she has some cool design stuff, i'll have to go back and check out her blog



i'm going to go to the craft store to buy
scrapbook paper sheets for the black and white
needed for the mobile pieces

i measured around my sphere

with a piece of string

and then i measured the

length of the string to

get the circumference 

then, i used the formula 

C=(3.14)d

to solve for the diameter

which is designated as A

in the instructional diagram

all other measures are based

off of A

update:
i made all of the pieces
except the circle
because i needed a compass
i should finish and assemble this soon
photos to follow

update:
besides the floor mirror
the Munari Mobile is baby's favorite!

it is beautiful in motion
we hung it up at 4 weeks
and now it is 8 weeks
time to move on
to the octahedron mobile

baby will work on this mobile
for 30 minutes at a time
multiple times a day
