Many years ago, I had a loft apartment.  I was laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling trying to figure out where my life went so wrong, when an idea occurred to me and I thought, "A mobile."  So, I made a mobile out of mylar, polycarbonate, fishing line, and steel.  Over the years, laser cut acrylic was added as a media as well as increased access to machine tools and that led to new types of mobiles.

If you're interested in making your own mobiles, the technology and techniques contains a few suggestions on how to approach things and will hopefully save you a little time and not make the same mistakes that someone else (aka Mr. Moose) did.
