Try mapping diagonal lines and stuff onto a 3D cone-shaped object. Probably best to use smallish bits for the diagonal stuff so you don't get into trouble with the joins. <http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1B5yS8tg4cZz9KPzX9vXvbSkrydqw0> Here's a 3D spiral on a transparent cylinder that I did some years ago using Dimensions (RIP). This used long diagonals but you can do the same sort of thing with many short bits. Mapping is more difficult in Illy and your cone- or funnel-shaped object will have multiple surfaces, but you can probably get away with one or two symbols, distorting them to fit the surfaces.
