"Shoe Buzz Project - The Stride Rite Corporation"

I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful artist named Edie Twining who was
designing a new store line for Stride Rite that was to be called "Shoe Buzz".

Edie envisioned a large mobile as the centerpiece of the store, and sent me a sketch with her idea.


Edie wanted the mobile to be large and dynamic.  I recommended that it be suspended from
the ceiling rather than mounted on a post, so that it would be more sensitive to air currents in the store.

She agreed, and I set out to make a half-scale model for her to approve.
This is the model that I made.


And this is the full-sized mobile, hanging in the store.
