These are our newest and very popular kaleidoscopes.
The base glass is made by Spectrum and some of the shapes and texture come from the glass which has a special dichroic coating. When we kiln-fire each piece to achieve the round shape, the surface texture and the way light reacts with the dichroic coating changes. Inside on the third side of the mirror we have used a strip of dichroic glass with different color shifts to complement the outside glass. We have been calling this mirror system our "Northern Lights" because it resembles the shifting colors and patterns of the northern lights in the winter. Peggy has created unique pieces for the oil-filled object cell by flame-sculpting special dichroic glass blended with saturated colors, making images having texture, depth, and dimension. The combination of the optics and the undulating images form a dance for your eye.
