Stereogram

I picked 50 of the best out of the 500 I've created so far. The one that looks like a red tire; the center of the wire wheel was from the number '7' in several rows. So easy to get deep in to this once you get started. I use some as backgrounds for images. Some have wondered how I create these. Well I start off with a strange design:

I use Photoshop program and use the 'filter' function and choose 'distort' then select polar coordinates. This changes the first image into this:

Then I edit the background with a duplicate and change the color to 4 squares of purple to black with the purple color in the center, black on the edges. Then use the 'filter' and choose again 'distort' then 'spherize', making a purple circle with black corners. Then move the 2nd image over the third image that makes it look like this:

Hot spherize and again. Make a duplicate, and reduce the size so that 25 of these will fill the image and move them on to the copy. It looks like this:

Then I add texture to the blacked areas and there you have a stereogram.

I just did a check and I have almost 900 images. So it is something to enjoy. The thing is, I figured out how to do this on my own. Trying this and that and finding more and more ways to work the program. This wasn't from another source, just something I figured out on how to make these. I'm glad other appreciate it as much as I do. They make real interesting backgrounds for coin images as well:
