Product Details
"Mariposa" is a gorgeous handheld kaleidoscope by American artist Sue Rioux. The body was created with matte, iridescent, pink stained glass panels and features 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 (328), and signed (Sue Rioux) by the artist.
Note: Moving a light source, without turning the object drum, can also alter kaleidoscopic imagery simply by changing the angle of the light. Try using a UV Black Light or direct sunlight too, experimenting with light is fun!
