Glass Handcrafted Kaleidoscope, "State Park Series Acadia" By Artisan Sue Rioux.
Click Image to Enlarge
Award-winning kaleidoscope artist, Sue Rioux, has designed this all-glass kaleidoscope to reflect the only state park in her home state of Maine, “Acadia.” If you’ve ever visited that Maine state park, you will remember perhaps the blue and white water splashing upon the rocks on the Eastern seaboard. The body of this kaleidoscope is reminiscent of these splashes of waves with the lovely blue and white of the glass.
The eyepiece of this extraordinary kaleidoscope will show two views: one view as a two mirror system with a stunning round mandala, and the second view as a three mirror system filling the entire viewing area. So, you are getting two kaleidoscopes in one body with “Acadia.”
The oil-filled object case has fascinating objects like seashells, fish, a lobster as well as rainbow-producing colors from dichroic glass pieces floating inside to make the wonderful colorful images. The images have six points in both the two and three mirror sides reflecting the sea wildlife found at “Acadia.” Enjoy the images in the video that Jean and Karl have prepared for you. Sue has signed and dated her beautiful, expertly made kaleidoscope.
•The oil filled cell is 3 1/2" long and 1 5/8" in diameter.
•All glass construction made in the “Tiffany” style with copper foil technique
•2 mirror and 3 mirror system in one beautiful body
•Handmade, dated and signed by award winning artist, Sue Rioux.

Takes me away! 5I'm so excited to finally own my first handcrafted kaleidoscope! I have been wanting one for years & decided this Acadia/ Ocean themed one would be one perfect. I absolutely love it! The colors vary from soft blues & sandy tans to vibrant pinks & purples that shift beautifully. The objects in the tumbler are shells, beads, iridescent glass, a red lobster, and I just realized there is a glass whale in there too! I love that it has both a 2 & 3 mirrored system, its like having two kaleidoscopes all in one! The turquoise blue stained glass outside looks beautiful sitting on my table. I know this will be a great conversation piece. Since we've been staying home more, I decided to get this instead in leu of a vacation this year. We were out on the east coast several years ago & this brings back some happy memories! Thank you!
Pros:Constantly changing colors, 2 Kaleidoscopes in 1! Beautifully handcrafted details
Cons:None
