Kaleidescopes are pure infinite ever-changing visual magic. I adore them. My sisters gave me a kaleidescope for my 40th birthday that still brings me, and now my granddaughter Oliva, utter joy. For my 60th birthday, Martin gave me a side-lit handheld kaleidescope made by Mark Reynolds. He found it at Nelly Bly, the world’s biggest, best, and most magical kaleidescope emporium. Every October they hold a keleidescope festival where kaleidefans meet the artists who make them and attend workshops to make one of their own. One of these days……..
I’ve done something totally new and untried. Until today. A video set to music. The music is from Andrew Weil & Kimba Arem’s Vibrational Sound Healing. Track #2, Sky of Night. The CD was a birthday gift from my sister, Lisa, some years back. Birthdays, kaleidescopes and music. What could be better?
Loved kaleidoscope and know Nelly Bly in Jerome. Always loved the display outside the store where the kaleidoscope focuses on flowers in a huge bowl.
Clare! I almost mentioned that flower bowl but knew I couldn’t do it justice.
I LOVE it too! It is totally magical.
Debra, you continue to open my eyes to things I wouldn’t always take the time to treasure and reflect upon. Kaleidoscopes, for one. As a kid, they were so fascinating to me, although as an adult, I haven’t really looked at them. So colorful, so ever changing, so like life! And the artistry that goes into them – oh my! What creativity and thought! Thanks for bringing them to my attention once again. A real pleasure!
Next time you are over, you can look through mine.
I love the kaleidoscope. So very magical. I remember seeing them as a child and was so in awe. The colors . The movement. How perfect. Thank you for sharing such a wonder.
I think we all need a kaleidoscope to bring back that utter wonder we once
experienced! Come on over when you’re back and enjoy one of mine.
Thanks for all you do.
My utter delight!
I loved this. So creative. Reminded me of looking into the eyes of an owl!
