Wood


My kaleidoscopes are designed using a variety of materials—exotic hardwood and wood veneers for the exteriors. The interiors are made using a triangular configuration of high-quality, front surface mirrors, at the end of which is an object chamber filled with oil and containing glass, seashells, gemstones, or mica. The primary image of the kaleidoscope, the mandala, has been enjoyed for thousands of years. I am trying to bring the beauty of this image to life today by using super high quality mirrors set at precise angles.
