Product Details
"Azure D'or" is a gorgeous handheld kaleidoscope by Japanese artist Yusuke Honma. The scope body is made from Copper which has been treated to create an aged 'patina' on its surface. This scope has a 2-mirror, 11-point system and has an oil-filled, non turning, black background, side-lit object cell containing handmade lampwork glass, dichroic glass bits, tiny gears, assorted beads, and sparkly bits. This scope houses a 2-mirror, 11-point system that creates vivid, colorful, mandala kaleidoscopic imagery. Measures approximately 5.5"L x 2"W at the object cell end. Includes handcrafted balsa wood storage box.
From the artist: Utilizing the natural corrosive properties of copper, this scope's green patina was artificially created with rice bran, chemicals, and flame, causing this unique texture and color. This is a traditional technique that produces vivid colors.
