This
kaleidoscope is a collage of photos, images and remembrances of a
special person. Each kaleidoscope is a commission of the
individual it is honoring or memorializing.
Because I design kaleidoscopes with tubes of brass, wood, or covered with surface design, they are wonderfully lightweight. The scope itself includes a magnifying lens, which produces a full, focused image to enjoy. An optical quality 3-mirror system, and a free falling chamber filled with various bits and pieces means that there are no moving parts in my scope designs. One simply rotates the whole tube to enjoy a changing pattern. This enables the mirror system inside to be as large as possible, to maximize what is viewed in the object chamber. These may include antique or new bugle beads, flameworking, millefiori, glass fragments, decorative beads, and twisted wire. There is no way to make two identical kaleidoscopes; each one is unique, inside and out!
Please allow three weeks for this kaleidoscope to be designed and constructed. Please send high resolution copies or digital images of the following: photos, handwriting samples, quotes, lyrics of favorite songs, personal favorite hobbies, foods, pastimes, etc.
