Product Details
"Cards" is a magical handheld kaleidoscope by Japanese artist Hiroshi Wakabayashi. The body was constructed from a clear acrylic cylinder that with delicately textured, hand-painted metallic art on it's inside. The body features a single playing card, with a beautiful botanical rendering of a Fuchsia sprig on it. There is a turning, front lit, dry object cell containing (clear) birefringent bits & slices and teeny clear beads. This scope houses a 2-mirror, 10-point system which creates absolutely marvelous, polarized (color-shifting), "mandala-style" kaleidoscopic imagery. Measures approximately 7"T x 2" Diameter at the object cell end.
Note: if you move a light source at different angles into the object cell, the rainbow colors created will shift and change before your eyes even without turning the cell at all, like magic!
