Product Details
"Mariposa" is a gorgeous handheld kaleidoscope by American artist Sue Rioux. The body was created with matte, iridescent, black stained glass panels, reminiscent of Rainbow Obsidian, and features a beautiful, iridescent, color shifting, glass butterfly wings with copper filigree detailing. The body houses TWO systems, both a 2-mirror (mandala-style) and 3-mirror (full-view), so you'll get two kaleidoscopes in one very pretty scope! The spinning object drum is highly adorned with dichroic (color shifting) glass slices, fused glass pieces, colorful pebble glass, and iridescent pressed glass pieces, with fancy copper soldering. All of these together create bright and marvelous kaleidoscopic imagery. Piece measures approximately 9.75"L x 5.5"T and 1.5"W. Titled ("Mariposa"), dated (2025), numbered (325), and signed (Sue Rioux) by the artist.
Note: Internal images were shot while moving the light source, without turning the object drum, to show how you can alter kaleidoscopic imagery simply by changing the angle of the light. SO FUN!
