This is my first attempt at designing a shadow casting box.
Currently the heat isn’t making it spin, I will next enclose the edges with acrylic cut outs to fit perfectly into the openings.
Also what would be the best light source to make this work? The LED bulb did not cast a shadow on the wall. Or I could build a frosted acrylic box for the outside to cast the shapes around the light.
I will post it to Free Designs so it can be perfected by this creative group!
1/8 in baltic birch used. proofgrade didn’t love the pentagon bend.
An incandescent bulb might work, my grandmother had a Niagara Falls lamp that would spin after the heat built up, but it was metal and plastic. Like this one…
Wow! That brings back memories. My mother had that exact same lamp. I don’t know what happened to it after she died I bet my sister threw it out…it was old and kitschy but I thought it was cool
I bought these LED night lights from Amazon and put them into little boxes. One box, with a 4 inch butterfly cut out, casts an image 6 foot tall on the wall 10 feet away.
