Since I’ve recently become interested in making mobiles, I thought I would start checking out artists who actually know what they are doing. Marco Mahler obviously does. And with great style and artistry. His beautiful mobiles are more stylish and ‘finished’ than what I’m interested in doing.
And, his are almost exclusively indoor models. I want mine for outdoors where there is wind blowing! So, nothing too delicate for me. But, I love his work (and maybe he will be so thrilled about being Artist of the Day that he will give me a few clues!)
Update: What a great guy! Marco just sent me a link to a post of his that explains everything I wanted to know. http://www.marcomahler.com/how-to-make-mobiles

Destructive Testing 
Mobiles can connect with really cool shadow-shapes sometimes, too.
THese are very cool – very Miro-esque.
Very nice.
