Possibilities - One of a kind and commission work

The previous pages have shown designs that we have incorporated into our standard ranges of work. Here we show a few of the many other designs we have created. Some of these will undoubtedly take their place in the future among our standard lines. They can all be repeated. Please ask, if interested.

"Rose Window" on parlour stand

The ‘scope can be viewed on the stand, seated at a table, or handheld.

Multi marblescope set

Designed to accept object spheres from ca. 30 - 40mm dia. Spring-loaded retaining system allows easy changing. This set includes oil-filled globe, crystal ball, hand-blown marble and Dreamsphere.

Multi Marblescope images

Typical images from the 4 different object shpheres

"Blue Grotto"

An effect which can be applied to many of the conventional 2-mirror (mandala-image) ‘scopes in our standard range. The mandala appears as though seen at the entrance to a grotto, the walls having a pronounced 3-D appearance

"Bigfella"

Designed for a gallery, to sit at eye level on a plinth, acting as attention-catcher for visitors. Around 13 inches long, with large viewing port.

Unnamed commission

Unconventional kaleidoscope in which 3 pairs of mirrors are combined to produce a complex image with 3 mandalas combined.

"Asteroid"

Strongly stellated 3-D image

Parlour scope set

This was a commission to create a replica of one of my early designs, which appeared in the colour feature section of “The Kaleidoscope Collector’s Guide”, published in 2005.

The ‘scope can be viewed in its’ cradle or handheld. The two pairs of 3-inch glass wheels and two tumblewheels are completely interchangeable (and would be interchangeable with similar-sized wheels from some of my other ‘scopes)
