This is the prototype of the
mobile. The
frames are used on only one side of the paper, this way they have
enough weight to check the balance of it but there wasn't a need for
the second side at this stage. As you can see, wooden dowels,
paper clips, and tape were also used. The real purpose of the
prototype was to see if I liked the idea of the mobile but also to get
the size and basic layout worked out. This way I could see
how it
rotated in both still air and a breeze and was there any cases where
they interfered with each other. After having the prototype
up
for a while, I knew that I would like it and the layout was a good one.
