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

| | 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.

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.
