Labyrinth (the aforementioned Thing)

[surrealestate]

A few months ago I decided I wanted to make a portable labyrinth. After planning, design, etc, it finally happened. (And in time for Baitcon, too, but the non-stop rain meant it could never be brought out. It finally debuted at treacle_well's birthday picnic and will also be out at ArtBeat.) Created by myself, Mark, scholargipsy, magid, and queue, I think it turned out very nicely and we're all rather proud. :)

Queue took some pictures which were finally uploaded last night.


The five of us, happy with a job well done.


Meditating in the center.


Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, nice!!

Are the white lines glowing a little in the dark, or is that just my imagination?

Although I didn't mention the labyrinth in my LJ entry about the weekend, it was a feature of most of the emails I sent out on the subject. :-) It was a great idea.

May I be the minotaur?

now I'm pondering what would be the best paint to use on a tarp to achieve the same result...

Some folks have been doing a Candle Labyrinth the past few years at Rites of Spring -- it's amazing. Simply, a bunch of luminaria (tea-lights set in paper bags or plastic cups which have an inch or so of sand in the bottom work very well), set in the familiar pattern...

The folks who've been doing the one at Rites spend an hour or two doing the setup, then several hours maintaining -- replacing burnt-out tea lights -- and chanting, while anyone who wants to walks it...

Talk about altering!
