"The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls. Fortune appears on all paintings as a woman, sometimes blindfolded, "puppeteering" a wheel." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rota_Fortunae



I was asked to build a wheel of fortune for an upcoming event but it seems to me that this kind of object could be fun on holidays, like Halloween, for different occasions and at parties. One thought that came to my mind is a "Trick or Treat" wheel that kids would spin when they came to your house on Halloween where they would either get a trick or a treat.



This project takes about a day to make, including the time it takes for the paint to dry. I used only recycled materials or things I had around my studio, so the project cost nothing.
