I re-discovered the work of Alexander Calder the other day and it got me excited to work on some mobiles. He pretty much defined the mobile as art, and I haven't found anyone else that comes close to the work he has done. All of it is amazing, but the more abstract, almost sketch-like mobiles really interest me the most. I am going to start pretty basic, playing with materials, balancing elements and joinery, then move on to something more elaborate.
