Read her comments on the brands she uses that she hasn't had bleed.  Whatever brand you choose, test it first before using so you don't ruin your work if it does get wet.

Mopsey Designs Kids' Mobile (Hardware and Designs)

Mopsey Designs has something unusual--sets of canvases with hardware to make the set into a mobile to put over a child's bed.  There are five designs:  space, woodland, ocean, bees, and rain or shine.  You can see a photo of a finished mobile here with the other four designs at the bottom of the page.  I can't tell how the ornaments are attached to the bottom of the hardware but Stitch by Stitch Larchmont can help answer questions if you don't have a favorite shop to inquire for you.

How cute would these be with a little bell attached to the bottom of each ornament to make gentle music as it turns in the wind?
