Inspired by nature and a walk in the Jacksonville Woodlands, Jason Robison’s leaf mobiles have elements of leaves, branches, color and movement. Jason, the owner of Jacksonville’s The Crown Jewel says, “It is fun trying to get the balance and form just right.” With a torch and hammer, he creates the structure of the mobiles before the heat brings the color out of copper with a vibrant patina emerging in a burst when the heated metal hits cold water.
“It was the sculptor Alexander Calder, famously-known to have originated the mobile,” Jason says. Mobiles are a form of kinetic sculpture that hangs from the ceiling. “Like with jewelry, there is a dynamic to a moving piece that gives it life.”
Stop into The Crown Jewell in Jacksonville today and view the display of mobiles in various sizes with prices ranging from $50-$150.
