New Wood Used in a Kaleidoscope

Just posted a new mini kaleidoscope crafted in Jobillo wood from Central America. Have not worked with this wood before. It is a rich, tan-brown, with some dark brown stripes in the grain. A very rich, but mostly straight-grained wood. Hope to craft some more pieces in the future from this very nice wood.

More Polymer Clay Kaleidoscopes

In an earlier post, I called attention to one of the best polymer clay kaleidoscopes active today -- Jacqui Smith. Recently I came across two sites with some other artists who work in polymer clay and want to bring them to your attention.

Christy Sherman, from Rhode Island, does some really fascinating work with clay. Her site is

Another very talented clay scope artist is Dotty Mc Millan. Her site is

Obviously there are numerous other excellent artists working in this medium, but these have caught my eye.
