That might be a bit weak, but it could do. Decide how big you want your spiral to be. Keep in mind that the effect it gives is limited to the space it actually occupies in your visual field. The bigger it is, the larger the effect will be from any distance. Cut out a circle I used a string tacked to the center of the cardboard with a pencil tied to the end to mark it out and paint it entirely white. Now begins most time-consuming part of the process. I looked around on youtube until I found a sufficiently powerful spiral design, and decided to recreate it.

I'm sure you could design your own spiral in photoshop or something, but I wanted a tried-and-true spiral. I took a screenshot of the video, then printed out the part of it that contained one full inner arm. I cut out the arm, and traced it onto a piece of stiff paper I used some spam coupon.

I then carefully cut out the shape with my trusty knife. The resulting stencil was stuck on the circle I made sure to center it on that little hole made by the tack when I first drew it and painted black. It's crucial at this point to ensure that the arms will be equally spaced around the circle. I took a straightedge and measured from the center hole to the very outer edge of the arm, then made a mark that far away from the center exactly opposite.

All I had to do was make sure that that dot was visible inside the stencil along with the center point, and I was set. Once I had two spirals opposite eachother, I measured 90 degrees away from the line connecting their farthest points, and made a third point the same distance from the center.

The fourth arm was made opposite that, and there you have it. The first set of arms complete! The next four arms are a bit tougher, but I used essentially the same method. The video didn't show the entirety of an arm at any point, so I had to copy and rotate some bits around to produce an approximation of a full arm.

I then printed, cut, traced, cut, and ended up with a second stencil that was just larger than the first one. The placement of the first of these arms is a little tricky, as it needs to be spot on but you can no longer easily use the center dot to help you. I found the point exactly between the ends of two adjacent center arms, and made sure to start the arm there.

I also tried to position it so that it would be roughly one arm's thickness away from the beginning of the next arm by the time it got there. Once you have the first arm done, you can use the same directly-across, ninety-degrees, directly-across method as you did for the first set. This was the toughest part of the project. Not only did I have no chance of getting a full picture of the outer arms, I also couldn't conceive of creating a stencil that large.

I ended up just doing them by hand. I measured the remaining width of cardboard between the ends of the middle arms and the edge, and tried to draw them proportionally to the middle arms. I put a ruler along a radial, and measured the thickness and position of each middle arm that it crossed.

I then scaled these measurements and marked them 90 degrees away on the outer part of the circle. Since the whole design is rotationally symmetrical, the same markings worked opposite and 90 degrees to either side of the first. I then made similar measurements 90 degrees away from the first spot I measured, and translated those to between the first four sets of markings. This resulted in 8 groups of markers which I could use to keep my arms on track as I drew them in. I drew the curves in by hand and used a small paint brush to carefully outline and fill in the arms.

That's probably not the best way to go about it, but that's how I did it. Below you can see the finished arms, and the edges of the k'nex system I rigged up that I'll explain later. At this point in my project, I realized that the bare, slightly ragged cardboard edges were unsightly. I found some plastic tubing, maybe 1 cm thick, and slit it all the way along its length. I then bent it back away from the slit to pry it open, and let it snap shut again around the edge of my circle.

I then cut it to length and made sure it was on all the way around, resulting in a nice little edge protector. I cobbled together a cross of k'nex to hold the spiral securely in place, and attached that to a k'nex motor.

The rest of the assembly was just a makeshuft setup so that I could see how it looked spinning. If you don't have any k'nex, any small motor would do fine, and I'm sure you could pull together a similar device out of wood or metal.

I actually left my spiral attached to something very similar to its original k'nex system for a couple of months, but eventually I decided to make a nicer mount to hold the motor and keep the whole thing upright.

Still, I was intrigued, and spent a good amount of time researching the effects of LSD and the potential dangers of its use.

I was amazed to find how benign it seemed, and every positive trip log I read bolstered my confidence. I decided that it was worth a try, if only for the psychotherapeutic nature of the drug, and that it might be a fun weekend activity. It was a cloudy October morning when M and I decided to embark on our journey to Wonderland. We drove to a local diner and had a big breakfast over discussions about what we wanted out of our trip.

We decided we would use it for self exploration and meditation, and that we were determined to bring something back from the experience and not just get fucked up. When we got back to her place she performed a banishing ritual to cleanse the room of negative energy, and we each put a single tab on our tongues we had been warned it was high potency. I put on a pair of amber-tinted sunglasses, and noticed that the colors of the room were growing extremely vivid.

We saw the walls meeting at strange angles and pictures on the walls all looked skewed and trapezoidal. We looked down at our hands and our flesh seemed to be pulsating and transparent. I felt I could actually see the dark streams of blood flowing through my veins, and my skin was ultra high-definition. I can only imagine what Albert Hoffman the first scientist to synthesize and accidentally ingest Lysergic acid diethylamide must have thought of this! We put down the coloring supplies for a minute and went upstairs, because M wanted to change her shirt.

I was very happy with my comfortable clothing while on acid. Loose fitting pants, no shoes, and a soft shirt all enhanced the experience. I wondered if each star in the Universe held an incredible hyper-conscience and that when they explode, each individual particle retains some of that knowledge and expression, only to coagulate elsewhere as life.

I cannot express enough how wondrous and exciting nature seems on LSD. We were about 4 hours into our trip now and the sun was beginning to set, creating glorious golden outlines on the few wisps of clouds floating overhead. Our discussion moved to the nature of energy, and how every living thing on the surface of this enormous churning engine we call Mother Earth is fueled by energy from the Sun.

A warm and exceedingly friendly glow enveloped everything and everyone. This was the highlight of my trip, and I remember it vividly. We each felt like we were 5 years old again, drawing abstract shapes and colorful patterns and letting the pencil flow across the paper wherever it wanted. I was amazed at how easily I could manifest the images in my head, and how seemingly random lines would form new elements to the drawing.

I began to draw a mountain and realized it looked more like the outline of a sleeping panther. When M saw this she laughed out loud, and continued drawing brilliant patterns that filled page after page. We made hot chocolate and decided to have a period of quiet self reflection before finding a new activity.

We put on the album 'Lateralus' by Tool one of my personal favorites , and upon hearing the title track our conversation turned to the nature of spirals and fractals. In fact, even in my picture spirals began to appear all over the place, whether I meant to draw them or not, and I could tell our set and setting was having a strong influence on my thoughts. When she finally came out her entire demeanor had changed. Furthermore I was completely two-faced.

One side of my face seemed to smirk involuntarily, giving my countenance disturbingly asymmetrical features. The whole atmosphere seemed bleak and evil. At this point we realized the trip was about to take a turn for the worse. I suddenly found myself unable to communicate even my most simple thoughts. Soon I realized that I must sound and look completely insane, so I laughed and crumpled up the page, which made me feel even more insane.

I tried to collect my thoughts and repeat out loud the infinite loop that was swirling around in my head, but all that came out were bits and pieces of coherent language with no link in between. I tried again, and realized to my horror that I was saying exactly the same words as before, still devoid of meaning to an audience.
