Article on an interesting idea – a kaleidoscope window created by Patty Peffer.
The invention is an operating kaleidoscope that can be installed as a new or replacement window in homes.

Five years and countless designs later, the end result is a round specialty window that uses a 24-inch [...]
I just got a new order of kaleidoscopes from Boston ClayWorks. I’m going to be doing a kaleidoscope workshop on October 7th at the Clark library in Rhode Island. This is my second kaleidoscope workshop there – this time we’re going to be making the wand scope kits. It should be [...]
Artist Carolyn Bennet recently gave a kaleidoscope workshop to kids and there was a nice article about it.
Carefully selecting colorful beads for her handmade kaleidoscope, nine-year-old Gianna Campanelli said she wanted to pick shapes that she and her parents would enjoy.

I came across a nice article featuring kaleidoscopes in New Zealand.

Useful little tool that someone posted about on the Polymer_Clay_People yahoo group : http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/colors.php
It allows you to upload a photo and it will generate a coordinating color palette. Great for web design or just jumpstarting clay color choices. I could see it being really useful if [...]
I came across this article, Weird Science Makes Wonderful Art about a teleidoscope as public art.
It’s a telescope. No, it’s a kaleidoscope. No, it’s both — a teleidoscope.
Local artist Gregg Payne created the teleidoscope from scrap metal, including a four-foot piece of copper pipe, stainless steel couplings and [...]
I came across this article about an exhibit which included a video kaleidoscope.
Ara Peterson and Jim Drain’s “Large Video Kaleidoscope” (2003-06) looks like the most direct remembrance of Turrell here. It opens a hole in the wall through which angled mirrors multiply the changing light, colors and figures of an abstract video [...]
