My mother has an apartment in which one part of the living rooms extends over two stories up to the roof. This makes a big space, which I thought could be nicely filled.
On one hand I like mobiles with a contemporary abstract design, such as Calder's. On the other hand, I wanted to represent the ones who love her so much (ie. me, my wife, and our kids).
I came up to this idea of a birds mobile: the birds represent movement and freedom; their descending size, and the wingtip colors, represent our spirits.
This minimalist design is totally simple, easily made, and elegant.
I want to thank my dear mom, among so many things, for he active support on crafting and tinkering, as I was a kid!

The design is shown in this step's picture. You do not need any calculations. Just determine the wanted sizes of the birds, and their vertical spacing. The widest bird is 1m long.
