KALEIDOSCOPES, ANYONE? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For at least a couple of years, I have had, in the back of my mind, the notion of making a Kaleidoscope. Then our local art association decided to title a show "A Kaleidoscope of Color". I decided to be the one to take the title too literally. |

It's been something of an assembly-line process, with the first completed while the last waited for a turn in the gluing clamps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The result to date: seven wooden 'scopes, in a range of stain finishes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Each Kaleidoscope is 8 3/8" long, finished in polyurethane, with a wrap of soft leather-finish vinyl around the viewing window. They use instrument-quality first-surface mirrors to produce bright, clear images. |

These are actual photographs of a couple of the endless variety of images the 'scopes produce. But I was not able to capture the true clarity and vibrancy of the "stained glass" images as they appear to the eye. |
