fish mobile for my cousin nate's coming baby!
i love these little fishies and i'm so pleased about how they turned out.
ruby will nap anywhere, apparently...even on a knitting book, surrounded by her fishies and other knitting supplies.
dad made the wood structure for the mobile while i was home over christmas break. we decided on a slight curve instead of just straight lines.
two doggies guard the door of the shop.
i had only completed one fish when i was home, so we used the weight of that fish to balance the mobile. turns out, the four fish weigh slightly different amounts (don't ask why - it is a mystery), so when i assembled the mobile there was a great deal of hemming and hawing about how to rebalance it. in the end, i added some dry beans to two of the fish to make it balance perfectly. whew! i'm so pleased with how it turned out!
