If you have a Yahoo account you can see some of the pictures from the Stowe Kaleidoscope Festival.
I used a batch resizer on the photos instead of touching them up individually so some of them are a bit dark, fuzzy because of low light, etc…. But you can still get an idea of the [...]
The weekend of July 8th I went to the Stowe, Vermont Kaleidoscope Festival. The delay in posting about it was because I was at a fun but exhausting polymer clay retreat this weekend and only had a few days between the two events to recover and prepare for the next one.
Stowe is an absolutely [...]
Sorry it’s been awhile since I last blogged. I’ve been having intermittant vision problems – finally found out it’s probably migraines with aura – and was mostly staying off the computer at home.
Soo… to catch up. I haven’t put any new scopes up on the site yet but you can see a few new [...]
I’ve read about the liquid filled ampules some kaleidoscope artists make. You can see examples here.
I got some glass tubes – 5mm flint glass scraps from www.sciplus.com (along with lots of other good stuff). I think I’ve concluded that I can’t do a liquid filled ampule with my [...]
I recently came across this profile on Leonard Olson of The Kaleidoscope Factory: Kaleidoscope maker sees life metaphor in changing images.

If you’re in the Rhode Island area, you can see my kaleidoscopes on exhibit at the Clark Memorial Library in Richmond. If they’re not too busy, ask one of the librarians if they can unlock the case so you can pick up the kaleidoscopes and see the different views.
I’ll also be [...]
Just finished a new kaleidoscope. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Nice article on a shop called Kaleidokites and their One-of-a-kind Kaleidoscopes.
There’s an unrequited love behind every handmade kaleidoscope in Kaleidokites, a Eureka Springs shop.
The artists often use the same high-tech metals and glazings deployed by space shuttle engineers to create kaleidoscope patterns resembling fireworks and meteors on a night sky. [...]
There’s a new group over on Yahoo for anyone who is interested in kaleidoscopes. We have people from every skill level – from professional artists to people who are just starting and haven’t made a scope yet. There are artists who make scopes in polymer clay, glass, wood, and found objects.
The group actually [...]
I’ve got my mirror cutting table all set up and I really like it. If you’re interested in cutting your own mirrors, I highly recommend DOn Doak’s two videos. One is available from DelphiGlass. The other, which covers building your own magnetic cutter is available directly from the Doak’s. Email me if you’d like their [...]
