Kaleid 3

This last brooch was made with the challenge of having the movement of stone along with stability. I decided to make the cylindrical piece as an actual kaleidoscope and set the stone inside of a tubing. I wired the tubing on the inside to the outside tubing producing a form to realistically be able to view an actual kaleidoscope. When you view the back of my piece you can see geometric forms and multi colors as you move the tube around. The interesting part of this brooch is the cap I made along with it which pins into your sweater and clicks around after being pushed inside the tubing for a steady fit.

I wish I could execute my idea originally the way I had planned, although I enjoy the way I unintentionally found a solution to remake this item differently but similarly successfully.
