around and around she goes

[darkoshi]

A mobile I put together at work over the years, bit by bit. And changed bit by bit. With paperclips, staples, bug bash bugs, gifts from co-workers, and more.

The CD balanced in the middle was the latest addition, with the small ladybug and glass drop riding on it. In the past, the small ladybug was in a different place.

How pretty!

I used to have one of those little koala climbers. It rode on a blind pull for ages.

Thanks! I used to have a bigger one, actually two - a mama and a baby koala, as a kid. The baby koala had the grippy hands. But a co-worker gave me this one, after she came back from a trip to Australia.

Beautiful.

Also: how do you get your pushpins so straight (under the CD hanging on the wall)?

Also-also, there are (at least two) CDs hanging on the wall! Is there a story behind that? (Not literally of course, unless there really are some stories (hiding) behind them.)

> how do you get your pushpins so straight

Persistence! If they aren't straight after pushing them in, take them out and try again!

> CDs hanging on the wall

They were old CDs I didn't need anymore. Originally I hung them up as decorations. But now I use them sort of like Tibetan prayer wheels, without the prayers - once in a while passing my hand over the tops to spin them. There are a few more up than can be seen in the video.

They do make nice decorations. That's pretty cool.
