Master Kaleidoscope Artists: Randy & Shelley Knapp |
|
A trio of Shelley Knapp Kaleidosocpes: We have three late 1990's scopes all marked Shelley Knapp kaleidosocpes. One has the sundog image. another has a special lens that produces radiating spectra from the image in the mandala. |
Gizmo: A small kaleidoscope floats over a burl. Is it a spaceship, a bird in flight or a fish and a reef? Dated 1993. Maybe my favorite small kaleidoscope. |
Vorticulation: This one is #17 of 30 and is dated 1991. This scope has a central void in the mandala and playful bubbles are in the object chamber.. |
Fly-By: This one #12 and is dated 1992. This scope is a nice sculptural piece. Features curved ampules in the object chamber. |
Star Jumper: This one is dated 1989 and is #12 of 25. An early Randy Knapp scope. Polarized object cell. |
