Kaleidoscope Artist David Collier: Art Beat's camera goes inside a kaleidoscope! David Collier makes kaleidoscopes, which he calls "multi-functional art objects," ranging from the simple to the spectacular. They are as beautiful to look at as they are to look in. Dave also makes lovely wooden boxes and pendants. You can find them at The Contemporary Crafts Gallery and at The Real Mother Goose.
