Oh, but how I love Kaleidoscopes! Actually, a few years ago I ordered a kit to make my own, using beads in the bottom. What fun!
About a year ago, I bought software to create Kaleidoscope designs using photos. Thinking this would be a great tool to use for making greeting cards, or as a possible inspiration for art quilts, I gleefully installed the program on the computer but… have not even attempted to use it until today. I am always so phobic when it comes to trying new things, especially those that look like they might be too complicated. I was surprised when I opened the program at how simple it is to use. A couple of steps are all that is needed to create a wondrous new design.
For my first designs, I used a photo of a Rugosa Rose and one of a Daffodil. Here are the results!
This software has really come down in price. I paid about $45.00 for it from a local NH shop. This looks like a great deal on amazon.
