Maze of the Week #79 - Severance Hall Maze

Maze of the Week #79 takes us back to Cleveland, Ohio one of the cities I have lived in and so a common place for my subject matter to come from. This particular maze is of Severance Hall, the home of the excellent Cleveland Orchestra. Opened in 1931 it is considered one of the most beautiful music venues in the world (see the YouTube tour below) ! If you are in the area check it out along with the Cleveland Museum of Art next door. The Wade Park District of Cleveland is a must see. You can find information about the orchestra here or more about the building here.

And to get the details right I took some of my own photos of the building that you can find (hopefully!) in the maze I made. Here is a gallery of 6 of them:

The Maze: This maze was started by me a few years ago (Fall 2019) and abandoned. When I first did it I tried to make it without any perspective (so the maze would be boxy and have lots of 90 degree corners) but decided I liked more realistic looking mazes and so I started making everything with perspective. That put this maze on the shelf until one day I found it and decided to finish it (and also color it). You can still see how ‘boxy’ it is. but I still think it came out pretty good ! I like the detail on the facade despite not being important to the maze.

Maze of the Week #78 - Elgin Car Wash Sign Maze

Maze of the Week #78 is our third straight sign maze from the state of Illinois, this one of the Elgin Car Wash in Elgin, Illinois. While this was made based off of a real sign it could really be one of many car wash signs around the country. This particular one is located at 313 Dundee Ave and appears to have changed colors recently ! It appears to now be the X-Treme Auto Spa if you are in town and have a dirty call.


Google Maps view: It looks like the sign is now blue !

Photo: Check out this one on flickr.

The Maze: Sometimes the simple things make really good mazes. Nothing fancy here. I would like a better sign statement. Here are a few I played with that did not make the cut:

WE MAZE CARS CLEAN

MAZE YOUR CAR SPARKLE

CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO MAZELINESS

KEEP CALM AND MAZE YOUR CAR

Maze of the Week #77 - Giraffe Maze

Maze of the Week #77 takes us to the plains of Africa or maybe your local zoo with this Giraffe Maze. While this is not my first animal maze, it is my first high level maze. I am debuting the maze this week to celebrate World Giraffe Day on June 21 !

Photo: I used this photo from flickr user Mad Ball and adapted it into a maze. I was watching a YouTube video one day and noticed that the coat of a giraffe would make a good maze

The Maze: Color. Large Size. You cannot see the maze on most screens and this is meant to be printed and solved on a large piece of paper.

If you like animal mazes, I have some much more simple, kids focused mazes from a few years ago. There are over 30 and my favorite are the Iguana, Pug dog and the Bald eagle.

A sign maze.

Maze of the Week #76 - Northgate Shopping Center Sign Maze

Maze of the Week #76 takes us from Aurora, Illinois and a shopping center sign. This is a great old time looking sign that I found that I loved so I made it into a maze. You can find it near the road on Route 31 in front of the shopping center. This begins a mini 3 part series of mazes of signs in the state of Illinois.

Photo: Check out a few different photos on Flickr, and this other photo. Or my favorite view from Google Maps !

The Maze: Bottom to top solve. Full color. Relatively easy maze.
