A three-dimensional ornamental device adapted for rotation about an axis to produce a changing perspective that creates an interesting visual effect includes a series of angularly spaced apart strips, each strip having opposite ends and a length corresponding to the curvilinear distance along the strip between the opposite ends of the strip, wherein each strip is connected at one end to a first spine and connected at an opposite end to a second spine. The device can be made by cutting a sheet of material into a desired geometric shape, making cuts into the sheet material to form a series of disconnected adjacent strips, and bending the strips from a reference plane so that the strips are angularly spaced apart from each other.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The three-dimensional ornamental device of this invention may be adapted for rotation about an axis whereby a changing perspective creates an interesting visual effect.
The device includes a series of angularly spaced apart strips, each strip having opposite ends and a length corresponding to the curvilinear distance along the strip between the opposites ends of the strip, each strip connected at one end to a first spine and connected at the opposite end to a second spine.
In accordance with a particular aspect of the invention, a second series of angularly spaced apart strips is provided, wherein each strip has opposites ends and a length corresponding to the curvilinear distance along the strip between opposite ends of the strip, and each strip is connected at one end to the first spine and at the opposite end to the second spine.
Each strip in the first series corresponds with one of the strips in the second series.
The corresponding pairs of strips are annularly displaced by about 180 degrees and connected on opposite sides of the spines to outline two sides of a geometric shape separated by the spines.
These and other features, advantages and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, drawings and claims.
