Marc Tickle's "Ella Rose" kaleidoscope in Eden (Multi)
Ella Rose-Eden (Multi) combines a shadow box with a kaleidoscope, allowing the viewer to see the exterior as a sculptural piece, even when not being viewed as a kaleidoscope. An optical illusion gives the appearance of a three-dimensional sculpture within a box; however, there is a hidden 2-mirror, 7-point system inside, which gives the viewer a fully functional kaleidoscope with an exterior oil-cell filled with dichroic and flameworked glass pieces. The exterior is hand-painted textured glass, with delicate soldered trim, and the interior is mirrored and papered with a three-dimensional suspended object. Glorious to hold and behold, this kaleidoscope begs endless viewing. Marc's signature back-painted glass adorns "Eden", a multi-colored exterior that is unique each time. He mixes his own paint, using mica, creating a gorgeous marbled look. It is also available in Marc's traditional five back-painted exterior glass colors: Green, Blue, Cranberry Red, Gold and Purple. This kaleidoscope measures 9-1/2" long x 3-1/2" wide x 4-1/4" tall.
