I used that technique but divided the image into 1/8s. Works MUCH better and faster.

Okay here is my attempt. What a lot of fun it was to create.

What is it about kaleidoscopes that fascinate us, I wonder? Maybe remembering our childhood. Maybe just seeing the patterns and colors. Regardless, the're fun to look at AND fun to make!

Blacknight and T,
Thanks for the Action links. These things turn out so pretty I bet they would make great patterns or styles too.

SJM,

I love the tulip kaleidoscope photo you created. What a lovely effect and such striking colors.

sjm - your kaleidescope is positively BEAUTIFUL!! Wow!

T Paul - yours is much more subtle (well, perhaps compared to sjm's, anything is "subtle"

), but still a beautiful one. Thanks for the links - a slightly different approach than what I came up with, but the same result.

Blacknight - I tried that action. The author is right that it only works on SOME photos. I couldn't get it to work on any of mine, so I'm wondering what the qualifications are for the photo it will work on.

I'm still trying to figure out how I can put my process into an action. I'll let everyone know if I actually figure it out.

WOW T!!

I LOVE those colors.

I really feel like a kid in this thread - absolute awe at the beauty of things seen through a kaleidescope!

I decided to try a slightly different starting point for a kaleidescope. I started with the watercolor of the chilies that I did yesterday and came up with this. The result isn't as vibrant and it has a much "softer" feel to it than starting from an actual photo, but it was an "experiment" - one that I'd like to explore further.

Jeanie,

I really like the watercolor effect with the kaleidoscope. And I really like the "soft" appearance. Well done.

OKay, I had to do just one more....this kaleidoscope stuff is addictive. I've decided to use mine for some greeting cards to send to relatives.

Here's one more to look at.
