Stamped Kaleidoscope
Because I design kaleidoscopes with tubes of brass, wood or covered with surface design, they are wonderfully lightweight. This kaleidoscope tube has been covered with cancelled postage stamps from all over the world.
Specialty scopes can be designed, using a particular theme of postage stamps. Please contact me for details. There will be an additional charge of $20.
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!
Dimensions: 2" x 8 ½"
Price for STP scope, including acrylic stand: $78.
