Simply Mazes

Number 45: Netting

2013-05-21T14:06:00.001-07:00

I was trying something new with this maze. What do you think, was I successful? I was picturing something similar to fish net stockings or tulle lace, which of course explains the name. I was fighting the urge not to fill the openings or at least color them. Anyway, there is only one “start” and “finish”, but try not to get too lost around the loops. Enjoy!

Number 44: Lima Bean

2013-05-06T12:04:00.001-07:00

This maze started as just a little squiggly line and I just added on from there. The shape reminded me of a lima bean for some reason. Maybe because I like lima beans, not as much as kidney beans maybe, but they are still tasty. Anyway, this maze has only one “start” and one “finish”. Enjoy!

Number 43: Chipmunk

2013-04-23T10:55:00.001-07:00

I was trying something new with this maze, not sure if it was successful. At first I was trying to make a bunny, but it started to look more like a chipmunk to me hence it’s name. Anyway, one way to “start”, just one “finish”. Should be an easy maze to try. Enjoy!

Number 42: Gooey

2013-04-11T08:28:00.001-07:00

The name for this maze comes from how it kind of looks like some gum that’s been stretched out or some kind of runny ooze. Basically gooey stuff. Oh the things that pop out of my head sometimes. Anyway, there’s just one “start” and one “finish”. Enjoy.

Number 41: Hair

2013-03-29T08:36:00.001-07:00

For this maze I thought it looked a lot like a wig or something when I started drawing it. After I finished it looked like a guy with long hair and a beard. It reminded of Hair the musical. I took a few musical theatre dance classes a few years back, and we learned a dance set to a song from it. So it kind of got stuck in my head and apparently came out through my pen. Anyways, it has one “start” and one “finish”. Enjoy!

Number 40: Following the Leader

2013-03-26T11:07:00.001-07:00

Three months later, and I finally post another maze.The reason you can find here on my main blog.

The name for this maze comes from the way I drew it. Basically with all the paths following each other, kind of like lemmings. Of course we all know the problem with lemmings right? If you don’t look it up. Anyway, there’s one “start” on this maze and just one “finish”. Pick the right path and you will make it there. Enjoy!

Number 39: Beetle

2012-12-27T19:13:00.001-07:00

Bet it isn’t hard to guess where the name for this maze came from. I was thinking it would be could to make mazes shaped like animals and stuff. What better thing to start with than bugs? By beetle, I was thinking of a June bug or a lady bug. Sadly it kind of reminds me of a tick. Anyway, the “starts” are by the eyes and you go around the legs and abdomen, along the wing covers and thorax, and “finish” back at the head. Enjoy.

Number 38: “Ho Ho Ho”

2012-12-17T13:28:00.001-07:00

For this maze, I wanted to make something a little Christmas-y. I basically wrote the words “Ho Ho Ho” and drew the maze all around it. The “starts” and the “finish” are the “O”s. As an added touch I made this maze a nice holiday friendly red instead of my signature pink color. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

Number 37: Zig-Zag

2012-12-10T12:19:00.001-07:00

Sorry that it’s taken so long to post anything, I had some personal things to deal with. Anyway, with this maze I started by drawing a zig-zag and then just filling in the empty space. Just a nice, quick and easy little maze. Enjoy.

Number 36: Swirly

2012-11-26T19:04:00.001-07:00

I started this maze by simply drawing a random “swirly” line and moving on from there. Sometimes the best techniques are the simplest. Anyway, there is only one “start” and one “finish”. Have fun.

Number 35: Macaroni

2012-11-16T12:40:00.001-07:00

I decided to try another mini-maze. This is possibly the smallest maze I have ever drawn, also maybe the easiest to solve. As for the name, there was just something about the maze that reminded me of elbow macaroni noodles. Anyway, just one “start” and “finish” with only one correct path. Enjoy.

Number 34: Pole

2012-11-13T17:03:00.001-07:00

With this maze, I was experimenting with different dimensions. I had originally drawn it on it’s side, but I thought it looked better this way. It kind of reminds me of a totem pole, hence the name. Anyway, two ways to “start” and also two to “finish”. Enjoy.

Number 33: “Sweet”

2012-11-09T10:37:00.001-07:00

More word fun. With this maze, I started with the word “Sweet” and drew the maze all around it. The “start” is in the first “e” and the “finish” is in the second one. Have fun.

Number 32: Web

2012-11-02T10:27:00.001-07:00

I drew this maze like the last one. I started with a circle and drew the maze in and around it. The wavy edges and rippling reminded me of a spider’s web. Makes it perfect for Halloween, though a little late for it. Maybe next year. Anyway, there are two ways to “start” and just one “finish”. Enjoy.

Number 31: Turtle

2012-10-29T12:20:00.001-07:00

For this maze, I just started by drawing a circle and then drew the maze in and partially around it. It reminded me of a turtle shell. Anyway, there are four ways to “start” and only one “finish”. Enjoy.

Number 30: “Cute”

2012-10-22T10:24:00.001-07:00

This is another fun with words sort of maze. I started with the word “Cute” for this maze. Why cute? It’s one of my favorite words. Anyway, there’s one “start” at the “C” and one “finish” at the “e”. Have fun!

10/20/12 Shop Update

2012-10-20T15:01:00.001-07:00

Number 29: “Sure”

2012-10-20T12:34:00.001-07:00

I tried something new with this maze. I started it by writing the word “Sure”, then drew the maze all around the letters. Can you tell? You “start” around the “e” and work your way around to the “S”. Enjoy.

Number 28: Monkey Face

2012-10-15T11:00:00.001-07:00

With this maze, I started by drawing the “starts” and thinking along the lines of cherries or grapes. When I finished the maze though, I thought it looked more like the face of those monkeys carved out of coconuts you see at souvenir shops. Anyway, there are three ways to “start” and one “finish. Enjoy.

Number 27: Crossroads

2012-10-08T13:06:00.001-07:00

As the name says, this maze feature four “crossroads”, areas with four ways to go. They were actually the first things I drew, even before the start. Sadly, due to how I drew the rest of the maze, even I don’t know the solution. Good luck.

One more thing, I just opened up a shop on CafePress. Now you can buy t-shirts, mugs and other things featuring my mazes. Feel free to check it out and please let me know if you have any suggestions or requests.

Number 26: Light Bulb

2012-10-05T12:11:00.001-07:00

For this maze, I got the idea to draw the “start” inside of the “finish”. To me this looks very much like a light bulb hence the name. From there it gets slightly more complicated. Have fun.

Number 25: Point

2012-10-01T10:07:00.001-07:00

This is another mini-maze. Actually the next few mazes will probably be mini too, I just love making them. Anyway, the name for this maze come from that shape near the “start”. It reminded me of an arrow. There’s only one way to “start” and one “finish”. Have fun.
