Boom-a-Rang Mobile

Description

Title: Small Booms
Dimensions: 2.5ft wide and 2ft long

Handmade mobile for the home, office or garden. Glass pieces are individually crafted and I make the steel structure out of galvanized wire so it will not rust with age. I engineer the structure so that the mobile dances and the glass pieces will never smack (it is not a wind-chime).

I make glass mobiles - a simple display of hanging glass. Kinetic, like Calder's work, but primarily just a
gorgeous display of glass in all its properties.

This particular mobile highlights primary colors: blue, red, yellow, green, purple, orange and there is one small black piece that I sign. The boom-a-rang shapes are a direct honor of Alexander Calders work... he would call shapes like these "fish bones". I think they feel like flight - funky retro shapes that look like boom-a-rangs.
