I've been wanting to make a
bobble head ever since I picked up a few from my trip to Mexico. I would love to see how they're made, but I did some experimenting and came up with this one--very simple with a eucalyptus seed pod body, a little crooked branch for the neck and some beads--a glass one inside for the weight, and humming bird and chicken feathers. It's a little like making a mobile , in that you have to balance the neck, (I used a thread) before you string it up inside the pod. This is my prototype, I'm bound to make more.

love it!!! My bobble head from mexico broke i think. hint hint
Hee Hee I will keep this in mind! Did it really break? I'd like to take it apart--I might be able to fix it.
yeah i think it did--i just don't know what i did with it--probably in a box somewhere. But it wasn't the bobble head that broke it was it's wings on the outside of the dragon that broke. I was thinking i might repair it with a little paper mache and re paint it
