      Yes I don't understand why my daughter who has amazing artistic talent doesn't take her art seriously. Who says you can't make a living out of it. Who cares what people say start your own business. If I had talent to her extent I wouldn't waste it.

    Even now, at age 60+, I can still remember countless hours fascinated by the ever-changing images in my Kaleidoscopes as a young'un. I had a couple of them in different sizes, and they were among my favorite toys for years.
    Probably the only toys I didn't disassemble.

    • @nisar6339
      @nisar6339 Před 2 lety +8

      I don’t think so. I used to make these and you have to use first surface mirrors which are super expensive. If you notice, this guy used first surface mirrors as well as the mirror was on both the inside and outside of the glass. I used to sell mine for $100 each. I’m not well versed in the price of LSD, but I don’t believe it costs that much.

    In Mexico some years ago in primary school we were taught to make kaleidoscopes. We used pieces of coloured glasses that run freely inside the item. It might not being as elaborated as the ones in the video, yet it is awesome. Cheers.

      Por allá a mediados de los 2000's una empresa de dulces no me acuerdo si era Sonric's o Ricolino sacaron en esas cajas llenas de dulces con una variedad de juguetes y entre esa colección estaba un caleidoscopio, fue bastante divertido jugar con ese juguete.

  • @xenolixx5387

    The kaleidoscope was originally known to the ancient Greeks, but was not rediscovered until 1816 by the Scottish physicist David Brewster and a patent was applied for in 1817.

    I got to work with Luc and Sallie Durette for a bit and the process was remarkably similar. The models I assisted with had wood cases for the mirror system housing instead of cardboard. These kinds of kaleidoscopes are quite lovely and last a long time!

    I got one kalideoscope from my uncle which had a very convex lens at the end instead of being limited by any packed items as shown here. You can imagine the variety. Eventually, I disassembled it. Keeping it would have been so great.

      I’m pretty sure that when it is that far into the future, everything we have and do will be viewed that way. Fidget spinners, rock and roll, rap, short shorts, CZcams, and maybe even cell phones will be crazy old concepts like stereoscopes and aqueducts are to us.

      I assume it comes from greek, where 'kalos' means 'beautiful' and 'scope' is glass, like in telescope and microscope etc.
      But I don't speak Greek and I haven't researched the definition, so take it with a grain of salt.
