..... complete with dead flies all over their visage ... ? Oh yes, very endearing .... |
|
| |
I'd like to see certain people's faces on fly swatters. |
|
| |
Ooh ooh ooh! How about this? Each
flyscreen is custom-made, and comes
with a matching adhesive film that
sticks to the door's glass. The adhesive
film is covered with a seemingly
uniform grid of fine lines, rather like the
fly screen. |
|
| |
Miraculously, when the screen and film
are both installed, the face of your
beloved appears, shimmering. |
|
| |
How is it done? By carefully tweaking
the pattern of wires on the screen, and
lines on the film, so that Moiré
interference recreates the image when
viewed at the right angle.
EDIT - since posted as almost an idea. |

Can I get one with the depiction of some sort of carnivorous plant? |
|
| |
I like my fly screens ironic. |

What are these magic fly-killing and fly-sticking flyscreens of which you speak? We do not have them here. I must search my bogan reference material to see if I can uncover the mystery... |

//I like my fly screens ironic.// Yes, but
cupric ones will last longer in wet climates. |

The Photoshopped [Link] is a rough version of the idea. Note that from a distance the people are easier to see, but they begin to disappear as you get to the door. This image might work best if you print it out. With some photo enhancement, the screen image would show up better. As with the Marilyn Monroe - Albert Einstein illusion [other Link], proximity (as well as lighting, outside objects, etc.) will affect the clarity of your screen door image. And, it's all just a little bit creepy. |

"Turin Shroud" Flyscreen, anyone ? |
|
| |
This would make me so so sad. :( I'd see the ones I miss and then when I try to get near they are gone... day after day--- I see you in the window, but when I walk up you fade... and it's only the EMPTY house... Oh god... I'm bawling now... :( oh! |
