Kaleidoscopes as an Art Form – Inside and Out

Thinking today about kaleidoscopes as an art form. A kaleidoscope is a media for art inside and outside.

Some kaleidoscope artists are inspired by great paintings. Here Carolyn Bennett has interpreted Van Gogh’s Starry Starry Night into a bright and modern kaleidoscope inside and out.

Carolyn is a pioneer in kaleidoscopic art. Her interpretations of fine art onto and into kaleidoscopes are respectful and innovative. She has also been a leader in the mechanics and design applications of scopes. Carolyn is the original designer of the Jazzy Kaleidoscope; the first toy style kaleidoscope that can be customized on the interior image without compromising the quality of the optics.

And to top it all off, she’s a great person! With a great sense of fun and compassion! We are honored to consider her a friend and a colleague!
