On September 23 the five members of our mobile making group went to the Alexander Calder exhibit at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, MA. Don’t miss a spectacular presentation of 40 of his stabiles, mobiles and maquettes of several of his large outdoor sculptures.

A year ago I discovered task board. Task board has interesting properties that are add a new dimension to making kinetic mobiles. Task board comes in white and wood tone, and is available in different thicknesses. 1/16 of an inch is best for making mobile components. With dampening it can be molded into curved shapes.

This video takes you through the steps of working with taskboard.
