This work is a simple abyssal mirror with low technical content, which only requires a few wooden boards and some materials to achieve. In order to increase the beauty, the author also used shallow carving technology to carve the pattern of a regular mirror on the back of the mirror.
The regular mirror is a popular bronze mirror in the Han Dynasty, made of high tin bronze casting. The mirror surface is finely polished and polished to a silver white shine, used for illuminating and dressing up; The back of the mirror is cast into a regular shape using the ceramic methodT、L、VThe decorative patterns are often arranged alternately with the inscriptions of the Four Gods, Twelve Earthly Days, and milk nails, and some are even gilded or painted. The workmanship is exquisite, and the patterns are as fine as hair. During the Han Dynasty, people not only used it as a tool for daily grooming, but also hung it with ropes or stored it in lacquer boxes. At the same time, they believed that bronze mirrors could ward off evil and illuminate demons. Therefore, regular mirrors with auspicious inscriptions were often placed in tombs to ward off evil and ascend to immortality, which can be regarded as a classic example of the combination of Han Dynasty mirror casting techniques and cosmic concepts.
Abyssal mirror, also known as thousand layer mirror or infinite mirror, is a luminous device that uses the principles of optical reflection and refraction to create an infinitely deep tunnel effect. Its structure is not complicated: the bottom layer is a high reflectivity total reflection mirror, the upper layer is a semi transparent and semi reflective mirror (such as one-way glass), and there is a middle layer between themLEDLight source. When the light strip lights up, the light reflects back and forth between the two layers of mirrors and decays layer by layer, forming an infinitely extending visual spectacle. The production materials often use transparent and clear glass or lightweight and durable acrylic. With a strong sense of technology and visual impact, abyssal mirrors are widely used in commercial spaces such as bars and shopping malls to create an atmosphere. They are also often used as home decorations, art installations, or desktop ornaments, becoming a popular element in modern light and shadow design.
After coming into contact with these two things, the author happened to participate in a home goods themed laser creation competition. Therefore, I wanted to combine these two things, not only to use them as mirrors in the home, but also as decorations to beautify the room.
The semi reflective half mirror, total reflection mirror, and light strip used in the production of abyssal mirrors are all purchased from Taobao. The dimensions of the mirrors are all150mmdiameter2mmThickness. The length of the light strip is300mmAnd it comes with its own power supply. Although the author has alreadyusion360The mortise and tenon structure has been designed in China, andlasermakerMade a statement for all graphics in the middle0.38mmThe laser compensation is not strong enough during the assembly process, so it is recommended to use glue (such as hot melt adhesive) for bonding.
The pattern of the regular mirror comes from the Internet.
