Enchanted Rose

Created & Donated by Mirrored Line Props

This rose is 100% guaranteed curse free! Though it’s still probably best to be nice to all wandering old women asking for shelter…

This reassuringly benign replica brings the visual magic of the enchanted rose from the Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast into your home. In the movie, the rose and the prince have a spell cast over them; the prince is cursed to live as a beast unless he can learn to love before the magic in the rose fades. To replicate the rose’s enchanted glistening, programmable light effects are embedded into the replica’s rose and underneath the petals. The rose shines constantly, and the petals twinkle to show the magic fading. The lights are powered by a usb cable. It is a beautiful, one of a kind addition to any Disney fan’s décor!

Materials:
This prop is built around a glass dome with a wood base. The topper and golden base are made with 3d printed plastic and coated with an epoxy resin. The rose flower and petals are also 3D printed, but with transparent red plastic. The rose stem is made of dyed plastic. The light effects use 5 LEDs powered by an Arduino Gemma microcontroller.

Measurements:
The dome is 9 inches (23cm) tall and 6.5 inches (16.5cm) wide.
The usb cable is 3 feet (.9 meters) long.

About the Artist:
Alex started his prop business, Mirrored Line Props, after he had trouble finding replicas available from his favorite movies and shows. He primarily uses 3D printing, but likes to incorporate additional materials like wood, glass and aluminum for an authentic look and feel. He specializes in adding lighting and material effects to his props. This is his second year contributing props to Desert Bus, and he hopes to continue to make bigger and better props each year.
