What are Foraminifera? I had to look them up only to discover that there are thousands of them living in or on the seafloor. I’m not a scientist so my understanding of them is minimal but they are single-celled organisms; tiny seashells.
Here is a link to the Kick-About organised by Phil. Head on over there and discover the wonderful interpretations of others who also took up the challenge of the prompt:
The Kick-About #137 ‘Foraminifera’
And just as a bit of fun, the same image but upside down:
I’m not sure that this was a success for me as I struggled with the practical skills of making a mobile with such fine materials. Doing it again, I would use wood for the Forams and cord to hang them. My fingers just aren’t as flexible as they used to be.
Having my work displayed in the Kick-About’s is a delight and seeing it alongside such talented artists is a real driver to improving my own artwork.

A Different View 
I like how delicate it is and whimsical.
Dear Katelon, thank you. Someone used that word (whimsical) about one of my earlier artworks; I love it, although I don’t feel whimsical, inside!. Obviously, it is trying to get out there into the world. 🤗💐😊
beautiful work on this Ashley! Mike
Great! Thank you, Mike! 🌞😊
An interesting mobile , Ashley. I like the assorted colours and shapes!
Forams are truly amazing, so many shapes, sizes and colours! Thanks for your comments. 🤗😊
I think it looks great, Ashley ❤

Thank you David for your lovely comment. 🙏

Your artwork is a great interpretation . Love that mobile. Brilliantly done, Ashley. You can be proud to be among the artists, you are one too!
Dear Ute, thank you for your encouraging comments. 🤗😊
The word was new to me, too, Ashley. They have quite exquisite forms that you’ve captured quite well in your mobile.
There are so many shapes it was difficult to choose which to use. Thank you for your lovely comments. 🤗😊
My pleasure, as always, Ashley 🙂 ❤
Thank you for sharing your art and a new word. Fascinating and bravo you, for learning and trying something new. ✨
Dear Michele, I hope I never stop learning especially in writing or art. Thank you for your lovely comments. 🤗😊
You’re very welcome, Ashley and I’m with you on lifelong learning. 👍🏻🤗
Mobile art is always intriguing! And this piece is also.beautiful! Nice going Ash!
Hi Phil, I keep trying and hopefully will try another mobile work in the future. Thanks for your wonderful comments. 🙏
Thanks a lot for the interesting link you provided and, above all, for sharing your beautiful creation!

Many thanks Klausbernd for your comments here. Enjoy your weekend! 😊😊
I love it. I like yours best. I am impressed. Reminds me of my days of doing 3D art and mobiles, make me a little ‘homesick’ for those days. Or maybe it inspires me to try again here in Scotland. I am thrilled that you got to show your work with other artists too. Well done 🥰💫🪅🌿💐
Dear Morag, thank you for you lovely comments. Yes! You should do some more mobiles; with them moving in the slightest air disturbance, they are always changing. I think I should do more, too! 🤗💐😊
Sounds like a great idea 💫👌
Love the art piece, Ashley, and love the upside down perspective as well. It reminds me of laying on the floor as a child and seeing the ceiling as floor with archways as dividers. ~Nan
Thank you, Nan. I like your idea, something I’ve not done since I was a child and perhaps, something we should all do, from time to time! 🤗😊
Ashley,
I do physical therapy exercises, many of which require me to be on my back. While holding the stretches, I look up at the ceiling and find all kinds of pictures there from elephants to caricatures (cartoon drawings of heads) to cats to…you name it. It’s fascinating; take the time to look up! 😉
BUONA SERATA
Many thanks 🙏
BUON WEEK-END
