Saudi Arabia Or Bust

Here's a mobile Matt is about to send to Saudi Arabia, where it will hang in the children's area of His Excellency Somebody-Or-Other's royal palace.

This project has been several months in the making. Matt welded the frames, dyed all the fabric (over the tiny stove of our tiny kitchen), and enlisted a friend to do all the sewing. The only problem? His shop ceilings were about 5 feet too short to fully assemble the mobile.

Thank heavens–quite literally–for the church gymnasium.

That is really pretty.
I'm trying to imagine the postage on that thing - much less trying to package it. And does it come with instructions for hanging it? Maybe instructions in three or four languages?
Congrats!

I've shared this with a bunch of people and they all think it's amazing.
