Usually kaleidoscopes are known as a children's toy, made from cheap materials that involve a 3-part mirror system and something at the front to create a mix of colour and textures for viewing. Making kaleidoscopes is not known as profession, generally. Around the world there are a few strange artists that have taken this idea to extremes and create pieces for collectors, often known as parlor scopes. As a sculptor I happily fell into this world several years ago and have continued to create unusual variations just because. (Can't help it!)
