I have been a stained glass artist for over 25 years, focusing primarily on designing and creating one of a kind windows. I have been making a variety of different kinds of kaleidoscopes for the last 7 years.

I use stained glass and semi-precious stone slabs to make both handheld and parlors scopes. I search for unique stained glass and semi-precious stone slabs that has a lot of color variations in order to provide an interesting item of interest for your shelf display.

Kaleidoscopes are meant to be looked through. Give it a try! The two wheels are made with a variety of glass shards, small semi-precious stones and mellefiori glass beads. These provide an endless array of different mandalas as you look through the scope. The constant change of these mandalas as you rotate the wheels is both calming and fascinating at the same time.

The large table kaleidoscopes are designed to sit on a shelf or table. The scope itself can be viewed while on the table or it can be removed from the base and held in your hand for viewing. The stone bases that I use have been selected for their eye appeal and size. I try to match the glass to the individual base. No two of these table scopes are alike because the stones themselves are as varied as Mother Nature herself.

The sun catchers are made in the same fashion as the kaleidoscope wheels. They are designed to be hung in from of a light source. They are priced based on the actual size.

Additional kaleidoscopes can be seen at my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/NebraskaScopesStudio.
