Product Details
"Tourmaline" is a gorgeous handheld kaleidoscope by American artist Sue Rioux. The body was created with textured, pink/green/white stained glass panels, decorative pink glass rods, an iridescent glass pebble accent, and copper soldering. The body houses a 3-mirror system which creates gorgeous kaleidoscopic imagery. The turning, oil-filled object cylinder contains dichroic (color shifting) glass pieces, assorted colorful glass beads, bits of lampwork glass, and other interesting items. Measures approximately 6.75"L x 2"T x 1.75"W and the object cylinder is about 2.5"L. Titled (Tourmaline), dated, and signed (Sue Rioux) by the artist.
FUN: To get the full effect of dichroic glass, move a light source around the object cylinder while spinning it for extra WOWS. Due to natural variations in glass, slight differences in swirls and colors can be expected in each piece.
NOTE: Each of Sue's kaleidoscopes are carefully handmade and sheets of stained glass are unique by design, therefore variations in the colors & swirls can be expected, photos are an example the glass used and may not exactly match the scope you receive.
