Kaleidoscopic Designs and How to Create Them
()
About this ebook
Kaleidoscopic designs are thrilling in their profusion of color and repeating patterns, but they look so complex that creating one would seem to be virtually impossible. Norma and Leslie Finkel have done the impossible. They have discovered a simple way to create unlimited numbers of kaleidoscopic designs (in 4, 6, or 8 segments). Best of all, you don't have to be an artist to do it, since any printed illustration can be used as the basis of a design. All you need are tracing paper, carbon paper, and a few other inexpensive items.
The Finkels give step-by-step instructions for creating handsome circular designs; they also offer 37 plates showing completed designs based on such themes as nature, animals, sports, and abstract arrangements. Four of these designs are shown in color on the covers.

HOW TO CREATE KALEIDOSCOIC DESIGNS
The kaleidoscope as we know it today was patented by Sir David Brewster in 1817. This still-popular toy is a cylinder containing two mirrors that meet at an angle and run the length of the tube. There is an eyehole at one end and small bits of colored glass between two flat pieces of glass at the other. As the kaleidoscope is rotated, the colored glass falls in different patterns that are reflected in the mirrors. When viewing through the eyehole and against a light source, one sees a constantly changing series of circular designs composed of four, six, eight or more wedge-shaped sections, the number depending on the angle at which the mirrors have
