 More kaleidoscopes by Charles KaradimosPage 2 of 3 |
 "Embossed" is a wondrous, three-dimensional, slumped work of art. The glass is embossed with a 6-point mandala running through the body of the cone-shaped scope. The tapered two-mirror system produces one of the most intricate images to date—an astonishing 15-point pattern. Together with the carefully lampworked glass in the object case, this 14-inch-tall kaleidoscope is beautiful both inside and out. Charles made this in black or white. Now sold out. |

"Dichro 1" was a limited-edition kaleidoscope made entirely of dichroic glass. The unique, three-sided, 9-inch, slumped glass exterior contains a tapered two-mirror system which produces a large 7-point image. The object case, however, is the main attraction. All the lampworked glass has been specially coated (dichroic) and placed in a cell that has been treated to deliver awesome imagery. “Dichro 1” was an edition of 14 pieces. (Sold out.) |

 "Three by Three" is one of Charles' more recent limited-edition kaleidoscopes. The exterior is made of 3 elegantly slumped pieces of unique swirled glass. A two-mirror system creates a simple 3-point image that is enhanced by the artistically crafted lampworked pieces in the object case. This kaleidoscope is 9 inches long and made in four swirled colors — blue/white, orange/white, lavender/white and grey/white. “Three by Three” was an edition of 18 pieces. (Sold out.) |
