I'll be on vacation from the morning of May 28 until evening on June 4(my shop will be down). I hope everyone is planning a vacation this summer!

These kaleidoscopes allow you to view in several unique ways, including adding your own objects. We make use of iridescent and translucent objects which reflect light and give great results. Like most kaleidoscopes, these are best used under bright light. Don't look directly at the light but rather allow the light to enter into the side of the object compartment. Use the scopes to relax, relieve stress, play a game of I spy and even educate kids on how light travels, absorbs and reflects. We like to work with not only colors but also with texture and depth (depth is difficult).

Brand new! The kaleidoscopes now include a prism disk that is located at the bottom of the object jar. If you've always enjoyed using a prism, you will really enjoy a prism in the kaleidoscope. It's almost like seeing the various light waves from inside the prism. I've also included a small educational paper on the splitting of light. The prism disk can be flipped over to it's black side or removed altogether for different views. I've add a couple of pictures, one without objects and one with objects.

The scopes are three mirrors, with the body being eight inches in length. They come with many objects, a sealed oil cell, an end paper (black on one side and iridescent on the other) that can block the light from traveling through the kaleidoscope (light enters the side and is reflected to the eyepiece). The end paper can also be removed to allow light to travel directly through the objects. We don't use stains on the wood as we love the natural color and grains to show. The objects are also magnified slightly, bringing the colors up close. While this is our first time to sell online, my partner and I have been building kaleidoscopes since the 1980's. This scope is the result of many hours of research and development over the years. We continue to look for ways to build a better kaleidoscope and in the near future will be introducing a two mirror one.

Kaleidoscope Dimensions: Approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.

It is so much fun to have a good kaleidoscope again. I haven’t had one since I was a child. I looked on many sites and did not see one that looked to be a good quality until I ran across this one. I’m so glad I bought it.

Made for a very cool and unexpected gift for my husband. Beautiful craftsmanship. Came with instructions and extras to put into the kaleidoscope. Packaged very well and arrived quickly.
