Sea Creature Mobile


So, after making Greta's mobile, I kind of got hooked. I made a couple of sea creature mobiles using patterns I found online at:

I found the clam pattern at http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/projects/t_oceanfingerpuppets.aspx
although it  was originally a finger puppet.I found the stingray at : https://www.flickr.com/photos/paula_silva/7813808898/in/set-72157631138763048 but added the sequins instead of felt dots.The sea horse is one of my favorite pieces in this and I have used it in other mobiles that I will post later. I put this together using clear fishing line. I used real sea shells mixed with beads (to look like bubbles). The turtle is pretty much like a gingerbread man shape with circles over and under. This mobile was made for a friend's first grandson.
