I was playing around with optical illusions when I came up with a variation on the old "4 to 3" illusion. I am going to cut this out of a sheet of 48x96 steel and mount it to the exterior wall of my shop, just for giggles. I suppose it could be routed into a sheet of plywood just as easily.

Taking it one step further ...

Can't wait to see the photos, Joe! Include some in progress if you don't mind.

New Twist on Old Illusion

You have probably seen the "four to three" illusion. I decided to play with it to make it a bit more perplexing. Enjoy!

Dang it! I meant to append this to the other thread "Wall Art" but I cannot see a way to DELETE one or the other.

Sorry for the double post.

I have no memory! I wanted to append this post, but ended up posting another one instead. How do I delete threads?

I may go out to the shop tomorrow and cut the newest one "16/11" to see how it looks on the wall.

I merged the two threads for you, Joe. Now I want to see your project in the shop and being worked on... :wink:

Thank you David. How do I delete a post I made? I didn't see any way to do that.

This project is growing, (like every other project I do :surprise: ) The size of the art piece is currently 12 feet high and 10 feet wide, and might be cut from three 4x10 foot sheets of stainless steel. I may decide to scale it down a bit, but the problem of the strips between the two sides becoming too thin arises. The smaller I make the piece, the thinner the strips become, and at some point it gets flimsy. right now that are 5/8" wide. Maybe I should fit it into an 8'x8' square, and turn it into my own 'Barn Quilt' They are popular around 'these parts!'

Just like my "FrankenBarn," a planned 600 sq. ft. workshop on a concrete pad that morphed into a 6,000 sq. ft. workshop with a 32'x48' basement, two 32'x60' floors above ground and a full attic space 12'x60, I tend to get carried away when I start into something. "Bigger is better!"

Hey! I think I will ROUTE the design into a sheet of hardboard first, and see how that comes out. The grooves can be thin then, and the design will still hold together ...:wink:

As they say in Kentucky, "All y'all have a very Merry Christmas!"

I think you have to do that within the 'edit time' window. After that a moderator can do it for you. Seems like the edit time window is about 30 minutes but I'm not certain.

12' x 10' is huge! Can't wait to see it.
