RE: Kaleidoscopic trips: "Helix Scope"

in #art7 years ago

Oops, definitely something else in my feed today :-) It is 100% unclear how this thing works but it surely looks cool. Are you saying you are making these yourself? If not, i understand, looks complicated :-) If yes, seems like a very fun kind of project i would love to do with my kids but then we will need a step 1, step 2, step 3 thing... Much love, great original.

Haha! Ok, yes, I make these and many other very strange and wonderful things. I'm a glass and stone sculptor. Instructions for fun: Point the thing at a light source, choose your preferred wheel, (or wheel combo), look through the eye piece which is at the other narrow end of the barrel and spin the wheels slowly to explore brilliant colours and shapes through a 3-part internal mirror system. These are a collector version of the cheap kiddie toys made of plastic. Hope that helps!
