Delightful Device
For my sister-in-law who is sick today and told me she is browsing my flickr stream for entertainment.
Caleidoscope comes from Greek and can be roughly translated to "to see something beautiful".
It is true for this large caleidoscope because it is pretty from outside as well.
You turn a crank and the big drum at the front revolves. Inside is a viscous fluid in which some very pretty blue-white marbles, some small beads and a few other things slowly trundle and dive. The fluid in which they are suspended makes this so fascinating for me and also the very lovingly made mechanism and look - I badly want to include it in a set of stories taking place in a Steampunk setting ...

I found it in Ria's house (see previous photo). It belonged to a collection of her late husband.
I used the texture Feathered Gold from Pareeerica for the photo.
