A fiber optic lighting device is formed by adhering fiber optic strands onto a backing material in a radial pattern. The radial pattern projects from a centralized illumination receiving port within a perimeter of the backing material. The centralized illumination receiving port transfers light from the illuminating source into the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic strands can include a surface finish, which enhances the intensity of the light emitting from the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic lighting device provides a non-linear sheared edge along the entire perimeter of the backing material. The fiber optic lighting device includes multiple arrangements of the fiber optic strands, each grouping illuminated in a manner to distinguish one arrangement from another. This provides the ability to sequence through the illumination process with the result being an animated presentation. Colors can be utilized in the illumination process to further accentuate the animation.
