Check out the kaleidoscope gallery. I’ve got a new mini scope which uses Grant Diffendaffer’s texture techniques. I love the way I can get a seamless texture now!
There’s also a new polarized scope. Polarizing filters and clear plastic break up the light into really interesting colors. I think I may have to do more with those.
>I’ve updated the look of the kaleidoscope gallery with a new script that lets you click on the thumbnails and see the image on the same page. I’m gradually going to update the newest galleries in the other sections too. Let me know what you think.
I posted on my experiments bending glass stringers for kaleidoscope object chambers over at the Kaleidoscope forum.
I just finished a new kaleidoscope that I’m really happy with – its not connected to the gallery yet but you can see it here.
Here’s an image of one of my latest projects – a mica shift kaleidoscope that I made after taking a wonderful class from Grant Diffendaffer. The texture you see is just from light reflection – the surface is perfectly smooth. Grant should have a video coming out soon and I’d definitely recommend checking it out.
