Darcy's Labyrinth Thing

I have this thing about labyrinths. I think they're utterly cool and I walk labyrinths every chance I get. So I figured, I'd probably get more chances to walk a labyrinth if I owned one, right?

So there's this big, bare floor in the garage. So what the hey. I enlisted the help of Ms. Edana McKenzie, who wrote Most Excellent Instructions for this geometrically challenged wench to follow.

Then I bought chalk, major masking tape, and put on some grubby clothes and got to work, putting Dani's Most Excellent Instructions to good use. Taping. Measuring. Taping. Measuring. Did I mention the chalk? It got all over everything, including my hair! I call this picture "Portrait of a Nut Case With Car Watching in Bewilderment."




	And here's how it looked once I'd obsessively placed all the masking tape and painted (with a hand-held brush, no less -- rollers are for wimps) the whole darn thing. I call this picture "You Can't Tell Where The Masking Tape is Either, Can You?"




And here's the completed labyrinth. You'll note that my car lost no time in expressing its opinion by leaving tire tracks all over it and ripping up a bit of the paint. And it's been expressing its opinion ever since. I call this picture "I Own My Home And I'll Have A Labyrinth In My Garage If I Want To."

Want to learn more about labyrinths? There are some pretty cool websites.

There's a Labyrinth Society, for example. Lots of labyrinth links to be found there.

And Grace Cathedral has a labyrinth locator. Who knows? Maybe there's a labyrinth in your neighborhood.

But be warned! Labyrinths are addicting. Next thing you know, you'll be painting a labyrinth on the floor of your garage, too, and then where will your car park? Trust me. Don't let it anywhere near your labyrinth!
