Mazes

Mazes. I started drawing and making mazes in Jr. High. I would watch my mother find her way through them pretty fast and would learn by watching her how to make them harder. I noticed that she would start at the finish and it was ten times easier to get through it by going backwards, so I started making it hard both from the finish and the start. She doesn't even think about going through them anymore. I made quite a few, but I haven't made any for several years, well at least since High School. Here are a few pictures of what I have and some of the ideas I had making them.

The crude maze above is one of my first. Once I got started drawing mazes, I used this thing called a ruler! ha

This one has my sister Sarelle's name in it. I got to where I put words and shapes and intigrated them into the maze itself.

This one is easy except for the three colors it is drawn with and it messes with your mind!


This one says start and finish as well as having a start and finish.

I used mostly diagonal lines in this one.

This one is a replicated design of itself all the way around the page.


This is the master copy of the maze on the right.

This is my big maze. It has 2 pages and I called it a story maze because it has 2 stories. This page is the start page and the one below has the finish. Each shape that is a different color links each page together. My assitants finger points out the elevator to the next page. This maze is very hard and you have to flip the page 17 times to get to the finish, that's if you go the right way
