Maze of the Week #50 - Welcome to Las Vegas Sign Maze

December 12, 2022

Maze of the week #50 features a maze of the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign in Las Vegas, Nevada. I love watching documentaries about the formation of the city by the mafia in the middle of the desert And today I present to you a maze of one of the many famous signs in Las Vegas. This particular sign went up in 1959…and oddly enough sits outside the city limits in Paradise. Or is that actually NOT noteworthy… shouldn’t the sign be at the border of the city limits and possibly never actually in the city ? Apparently this one is not at the border. To read more about the sign’s history check this blog out. And yes - it is on the National List of historic places !

Or, you know you can just watch this video !

Let’s look at a photo of the sign from Lindsay Scott / pixabay.

The Maze: One version. In Color. Easy.

I hope you enjoy the maze. A Maze download is available.

Maze of the Week #47 - Nampa Rollerdrome Sign Maze

November 21, 2022

Maze of the week #47 features the sign of the Nampa Rollerdrome in Nampa, Idaho. Opened in 1948, this is sure to bring back memories of your childhood. Browsing their website made me want to plan party, but of course what I really like is the colorful vintage sign out front which I made into a maze.

The last roller rink still open in Southern Idaho according to this video:

You can see a portion of the sign on their website, but here are some links to view it:

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the homepage

Coming next week:

A maze of a world famous building.

Maze of the Week #43 - Castle Craig Maze

October 24, 2022

I said maze of the week #43 would be a castle, and it is sort of. More of a castle tower that is called a tower. The Castle Craig is located in Hubbard Park in Meriden, Connecticut and was dedicated on October 29, 1900. The castle is only 32 feet high, so taking the stairs to the observation deck is a short climb. You can check out the view in the video below, or read about the castle on the Wikipedia page.

A photo of the Castle Craig:

The maze: I went with a basic black and white draw and cut construction. Honestly, if the castle was more famous I would colorize it, add to the background with some land, rock formations and a sky, and add some shadows to the castle.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the mazes permanent maze page.

Coming next week:

A maze to celebrate a holiday !

Maze of the Week #42 - Sydney Opera House Maze

October 17, 2022

I made maze of the week #42 over a year ago and am proud to finally present it to you now. It features the iconic Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia. I would be surprised if you are not familiar with it because it is one of the most famous buildings in the world. The building, which sits on the banks of Sydney Harbour, was opened on the 20 of October 1973 (thus the maze launch this week).

Learn all about the Sydney Opera House.

I think you will enjoy this video tour of the building and it’s surroundings.

And you know what it looks like, but here is a photo anyway.

The maze:

Because of the details on the panels of the roof which I used to make the walls of the maze, this is one of the largest mazes on the website. It is formatted is print on 27x40 poster size paper. There is a large amount of white space and the maze looks even better with a true wide landscape format which cuts off the empty space.

I am considering a colorized version of the maze as a future project (on the to-do list).
