The Flower of Life - A Gift Idea / Step by Step - 100% Power up!
Flower of Life on a CD.
I will show you today how you transfer the pattern of the flower of life to a CD to create a wonderful light-play.
It is perfect as a small gift and is not expensive.
The idea came to me about 5 years ago when I occupied myself for professional reasons much with geometry / "secret geometry".
I was just about to throw away old scratched CDs when I thought that a flower of life would surely do well on the surface of a CD .
So I grabbed a circle and started scratching the pattern into the CD's.
It took a few attempts to get a nice regular ornament, but with the correct technique it is childish and simply fantastic!
The flower of life is a geometrical shape composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles arranged in a flower like pattern with six fold symmetry like a hexagon. The perfect form, proportion and harmony of the FOL has been known to philosophers, architects and artist around the world.
All you need is a circular tool and CD / DVDs
Lets start
- Put something under the CD and put the circular tool in the center of the CD (see picture 1).
Now set the circle radius by looking for a starting point near the center of the CD (see picture point 2)
All you have to do now is to put the circle in the places where circles are intersecting each other.
Thats all you have to do, just try to work clear and you will by amazed by the result.
That a very bright idea. Might try that one too on an old cd!
Yeah try it, there are many ways how to use such a cd. You can make for examplr a clock or a windplay out of it.
mich würde interessieren ob die cd danach noch gelesen werden kann :-) So lange her dass ich eine CD in der Hand gehabt habe.... erinnere mich noch ganz genau an die Anfangszeiten wo man beim PC die DVD und CD hatte und man zig fach Brenner hatte. 4x,8x, 16x, 24x Fach Brenngeschwindigkeit.... War ne tolle Zeit mit den Kumpels damals
Ja stimmt, die Lebeszeit von CDs ist fast um. Aber ich fände es schade die einfach wegzuschmeißen, lieber Recyclen.
Ich würde dir aber nicht raten, CD /DVDs mit wichtiegen Daten zu nehmen, denn ich bin mir 99% sicher das die nicht mehr gelesen werden können!
its an amazing design
but i am sure those CD were not useful any longer
Not to play xD
But it is a possibility to give old cds a new purpose ;)
wow ,, now i get your point
😃
