<\/a><\/p>\nThat\u2019s not a complaint, mind you. I really enjoy making infinity mirrors. Easily one of the best parts is that they\u2019re never really the same. As a way of recapping; I made my own<\/a>, taught a couple of workshops<\/a> on how to make them, made one for my friend Andrew Tedford on his food truck Wickedly Sinful<\/a>, and made some really long ones for Canadian Tire and their IDS booth in Toronto.<\/p>\n One of the cool things discovered was if you mount something the on the rear mirror, it’ll reflect back and forth just like the LEDs and go into the distance. I decided to play with that concept with a plastic Easter egg half in my kids’ infinity mirrors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I thought it looked cool and left it for a few days. Until I realized I have the capability to be extra geeky. I have Death Star silicon ice molds<\/a>, some casting resin for use in my BB-8 build project and a little know-how. I cast halves, let them cure, popped them out and giggled to myself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I sanded the bottom smooth, grabbed a hot glue gun and presto!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is my daughter’s mirror. She has 60\u00a0LED\/M neopixels in her mirror and she likes \u201cjewels\u201d so her Death Star stays looking like a jewel. My son hasn’t made up his mind as to whether or not I paint his Death Star. I have some matte spray paint that might look cool. So his mirror isn’t done. Once he makes his mind up, I assumed after he’s seen his sister’s mirror, I can move on and photograph the result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
