The
Universe. The ultimate model. Who hasn’t dreamed
of holding the universe in the palm of their hand? Now
you can! When completed, the model spins on its axis.
Theatre
of the Mind. An adjunct to the “What Is Reality?”
chapter of The Museum of Lost Wonder, this model illustrates the theory
that we are actors playing parts dictated to us by genes
and memes, among other things.
Muse-a-um.
Now you can be the curator! Just add an artifact to complete
this authentic shrine to wonder. This beautifully designed
model uses tricks of perspective similar to those of Samuel
van Hoogstraten.
Scrying
Mandala. In the manner of the popular Ouija board,
the Lost Wonder scrying mandala can be consulted to answer
life’s big questions. The simplest model in the series,
the scrying mandala is the most practical.
Breath-Powered
Hypnotrope. When completed, the central cylinder of
the hypnotrope spins as you breathe into the tube, inducing
visions and light-headedness. This is the most challenging
of the Lost Wonder models, but the most rewarding in the
end.
Peep Show. Set off on a journey through uncharted territory in this layered look at the stages of life and the choices we make.
Carousel of Life. Birth, growth, sex, and death represented as carnival diversion. Round and round you’ll go on the ride of your life!
