Marble Kaleidoscopes

Most reminiscent of old-fashioned kaleidoscopes, we began making a marble design out of customer demand. It has become one of the most fun kaleidoscopes to make, since we seek out hand-made marbles and design the body of the scope around the marble. Browse available selections through the online store or contact us to place a custom order.

Designer Kaleidoscopes

The greatest amount of time and attention is paid to the objects that are individually placed inside the dry cell chamber at the end of the body. The creation of the dry cell is the creation of the image and the experience. Color, texture, line, form, and mood are all considered during the composition of the piece. No two are the same. Often included are: handmade beads, antique jewelry, semiprecious stones, collected shells, antique buttons, and other found objects. Many of these items have been collected in travel and trade, sometimes making them impossible to find again. We have also completed commission work that has incorporated cherished family memorabilia such as small heirlooms and personal jewelry pieces.
 
An additional element is also examined; sound. Before it is regarded as finished, the kaleidoscope’s image source must sound pleasing when it is turned. Its sound is part of its experience and personality. Browse available selections through the online store or contact us to place a custom order.

Wand Kaleidoscopes

Using a narrower mirror assembly and mineral oil wands, these kaleidoscopes offer a unique view. As the glitter and confetti that is suspended inside the wand falls in front of the mirrors. A “fireworks” experience is produced. Browse available selections through the online store or contact us to place a custom order.

Flower Kaleidoscopes

Each year, we plant, pick, and press our own flowers. We also hike through the surrounding land, picking wildflowers, ferns, and lost feathers. These flowers are carefully arranged between two delicate pieces of glass. FlowerScopes come in an 8” double-wheel design and a 6” single-wheel design.
