Glass Act

I had much success in the assembly and running of my VLK (Very Large Kaleidoscope) for the Edwardian World’s Faire and Ball last weekend.

I knew weekend before last that the major components would work fine, i.e., the moving parts moved and the reflecty parts reflected. When I went to do the aesthetics the night before the event (!), I found that it was very visually — unstunning. In fact, it didn’t really do much of anything. My lovely partner pointed out to me that what I needed was large objects rotating in and out of the line of sight. It seemed that the lovely fused glass disc I had made might do nothing but obscure the effect I wanted. But alas! We found a way to make it work, and it was lovely.

Pix to come.
