Slip Slip Bloom

140/135/63/35

I slip sometimes. But I still think the work is worth showing even though it’s unfinished because I’m a recovering perfectionist.

What I do to prevent slipping: go slow, carefully guide the gears with my free hand and use a small coin to slightly weigh down the smallest gear.

When I do slip anyway, I try summoning my inner Bob Ross and go „we don’t make mistakes, we have funny little accidents“.

So I put the gears away for a while and go do something else and then come back to it later.

Some magic happened this week

I've neglected the art and the community for a couple years (running on fumes will do that), but I've taken some much needed rest. This is what happens when you have a spark of creativity come back to you.

Best Spirograph set to buy in 2026?

I’ve recently become interested in Spirograph drawing and would like to buy a good-quality set. There seem to be a lot of different versions available, from the classic original sets to newer deluxe editions and metal gear alternatives. For those who have experience with them, which model or brand would you recommend for the best overall experience? I’m mainly looking for:

  • Smooth and precise gears
  • Durable materials
  • A wide variety of patterns
  • Good value for the price

I’m an adult buyer, so I care more about quality and complexity than whether it is kid-friendly. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Which shape is your favorite? :)

It’s been a while since I’ve filled a page and this took a lot longer than anticipated. I’ve included some close ups as well.

Made using Wild Gears on 18X24 inch paper.

Both of these were made with a 22 gear in 32/84 in 96, just with the different whole size
