On the right, Steve and Peggy Kittelson of Woodland Designs have also replaced the third side of their mirror system with dichroic glass, creating a beautiful mandala.įour-mirror systems which are arranged in a rectangle create a "parade" of images. On the left is an image from Sue Rioux of Sue Rioux Designs' magnificent " Wishes" kaleidoscope, where the third side of mirror has been replaced with highly reflective dichroic glass. Pictured to the right is Thomas and Carol Paretti 's "Tilt-a-Whirl" where they used a scalloped piece of wood, instead of simply blacking out the third side to outline the mandala. That scalloped wood is then reflected onto the other two sides of mirror, creating a scalloped view all around. Some artists experiment with the non-mirror side of their two-mirror systems. Some of our most popular two-mirror, 7-point mandalas are evident in the Tidepools line of kaleidoscopes by artists Luc and Sallie Durette of Durette Studios, pictured at left. Depending on the angle of the mirrors, the image can have 4, 5, 6, all the way up to over 100 points! Two-mirror systems use a triangle of mirrors, but one side is blacked out, making a single, circular design which is dramatically surrounded by black. An example is the "Baby Planet" kaleidoscope by David Sugich, pictured at right. Peggy and Steve Kittelson of Woodland Designs have added an interesting effect to their "Sparky" kaleidoscope, pictured at left, by drawing a black line along the "seam" between two sides of the mirror creating a fascinating, radiating effect.Īnother way to change a three-mirror kaleidoscope is to taper the mirrors, from large to small, giving the image a 3D, "disco ball" effect. One can find a three-mirror, 8-point mandala pictured at right by artist Jon Greene of Chesnik Scopes. This is sometimes called an expanded two-mirror system.

Instead, some kaleidoscopes with three mirrors are formed into an isosceles triangle of mirrors, creating the same field of patterns, but with a larger number of points to their mandalas or interior images. Most three-mirror systems are arranged in an equilateral triangle, creating an even, six-pointed image. One can see an example of a three-mirror mandala at left in the Small Classic Agate kaleidoscope by artist Jon Greene of Chesnik Scopes. This causes an endless field of patterns that continues up the whole tube of the kaleidoscopes. Three-mirror systems have, as you would guess, three mirrors, which are arranged in a triangle. By changing the number of sides and the angles of the mirrors, artists are able to create a virtual never ending variety of images in their kaleidoscopes.
