Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree
Kaleidoscope
Because I design kaleidoscopes with tubes of brass, wood or covered with surface design, they are wonderfully lightweight. This kaleidoscope tube has been collaged with snowflake images to create a wintry scene. A line of snow-covered spruce pine trees encircle the base. Inspired by Gloria Houston's book, Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these kaleidoscopes is donated to the Mitchell County Development Foundation for scholarships for area students.
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!
