Reflection

The key thing that we learned while making the mobile is that you should always strive for simplicity and elegance.  Somehow our mobile design became very complicated very quickly.  We struggled with too many wires, too much string and too many moving parts.  Creating elegant ways of managing the elements and pieces from the get-go would have saved us hours and hours of time in the long run.   A mobile is by nature a simple element- we let it get out of hand.
