Kaleidoscope Pattern Type All of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section. For KALEIDOSCOPE we take the three base colors and make gradated bullseyes, fading them into the lighter color in the center. They're manipulated into teardrop shapes and placed side-by-side into a triangle cane. Lighter versions of the three colors are rolled into small snakes and used as accents down the length of the triangle. The cane is reduced, halved and re-assembled into a new triangle. A sheet of the lightening color along with snakes of the three base colors are placed along one side of the triangle. The cane is reduced, halved and re-assembled as a square. The cane is then reduced, quartered, and re-assembled again. See items made with these patterns See Also...
