Kaleidoscopes!!! My favorite thing. Nobody can resist them! They are
magical. From young to old, male, female, "world weary teens".
Everyone loves them.

I have beaded and woven around a lot of them, see a couple of them

There is a website that has this size of Kaleidoscope inserted into
small gourds that are embellished. search "kaleidoscope gourds" on
google, it is about the second hit on the list. I think they sell them
there.

I teach kaleidoscope classes, so I too sell them $16.00 each plus
postage.

Call your local bead store, that is where I found my first one and
decided I needed MORE.

Wow - Karen, you should come out more often. What fantastic things your
necklace baskets are! And the pins are marvelous. Where do you sell?

I just realized that I should have added (AD) to my first post.... since
I did mention I sell kaleidoscope kits... Sorry about that.... but I
think your LBS or the gourd/kaleidoscope site would have a better price
than mine!... so shop around for a good price.

Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it. I think all the beaded
Kaleidoscopes pictured are done in single drop, even count peyote. The
beaded ends on the purple woven one are sort of a "mixture" of single/
double drop to get it to be even count and have enough beads to cover
the end ... so it is, as we used to say in the Sheet Metal trade "mush
faked". Translated: It looks okay but it isn't "kosher"!! .... and
later you forget how the heck you did that!

I sell my "stuff" at basketry conventions and other teaching gigs I do,
and sometimes at the Minnesota Textile Center in Mpls, MN.

Here are a couple of more web pages if you care to look:

Thanks again, Happy Beading!

Oh yeah, the copper loomed pins are fun, gotta love that copper!

Yea... Me, too. With a good enough price, it might be worth a group buy, I
think.

Is that the place near the Witch's Hat Tower?

LOL, Deirdre, yes it is above the center and to the left as you face the
center..... I have used that "Witch's Hat Tower" description with
people who are natives and amazingly the have no clue where it is at!

And to me the tower is so much a landmark that really stands out..... it
just sort of "screams" Halloween and you can see it so well from several
routes, especially 94.

You didn't miss too much here by leaving here this summer, the good
news is there were fewer mosquitoes than expected ... the bad news is,
that happened because of the drought ... and a lot of crops have failed.
I guess it is always something!

Thanks for the compliment!
Happy Beading, Karen

I used to visit a dear friend who lives in St. Paul very often, and my
route across the river was via 94, so I passed the tower all the time.

Sorry it has been a bad year for farmers. I've been missing
thunderstorms here a bit, but we had hints of one in this territory a
few evenings ago. Amazing what one becomes attached to. I always
feared for my computer in MN thunderstorms, but apart from that -- I
like the drama of them, as long as I am safe and warm while they raise
a ruckus.
