Laberinto de la Semana #44 - La Catrina Laberinto

October 31, 2022

I promised a holiday maze and I delivered with Maze of the week #44 o posible Laberinto de la Semana #44 featuring La Catrina for Dia de los Muertos. If you do not know who she is, I’m sure you’ve seen her before, maybe in a James Bond movie ? Or if you are in a country that celebrates Halloween you may have seen a La Catrina costume used for both holidays and not realized it !

Check out this cool video about her origins:

A photo of La Catrina. I suggest you do an image search because there are some great versions out there !

Coloring Page: As I designed this I realized that it would make a great coloring page for all ages (available for download on the home page). Here it is:

The Maze: I needed to add many more lines to create more “walls” for the maze to weave through ! Without them the maze would be too easy - in fact it would not be much of a maze at all !

I hope you enjoy the maze and coloring page. Downloads are available of each version of La Catrina.

Coming next week:

A maze of a beautiful building (currently being renovated).

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.

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).

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available at the mazes permanent home.

Coming next week:

A maze of a castle.

Maze of the Week #41 - Don Carter Lanes Sign Maze

October 10, 2022

We have back-to-back bowling alley sign mazes as maze of the week #41 features a maze of the Don Carter Lanes sign in Rockford, Illinois. This week, however, I feature a bowling alley that is still open ! They have 42 lanes and an arcade so I know I would be happy spending a few hours there.

To learn about the bowling alley and plan a trip check out the website.

One of the things I like about their website is that their logo is a variation of the sign out front. I found a video that shows the bowling alley (and sign on a rainy night).

If you want to see a photo of the sign, this is a good one !
