Mobile Inspiration - Nursery Design

Inspired by her awaiting bundle of joy she crafted up these amazing mobiles using embroidery hoops in varying sizes with beautiful paper inset in each - it looked awesome! It's such a great way to create a hand tailored and unisex (or not if you prefer) statement in a nursery or child's room. So here's what the effect looks like:

And so my inspiration continues - here are a few other great mobile ideas I managed to discover.

Love how simple and delicate this feels. Looking at the close up it looks like it is made from either a newspaper or book - would love to take a favorite book from my childhood, photocopy and recreate - Beatrix Potter anyone? Image from http://blissfulb.blogspot.com/
