These two images are the original images that I used to create the kaleidoscopes.

This is a copy of the second kaleidoscope I made. Since the file was too big to upload I had to take a screenshot so this version is much smaller.

For this project we had to transform an image into a kaleidoscope. For the first one I used a picture of mountains and the aurora borealis. It came out okay, but I had difficulty getting it exactly on 45 degrees. Also even when I had it at 45 degrees there were still gaps between the pieces. I had to use the repair tool in order to make it look reasonable. I also made a second one using a picture of a nebula. However I accidentally made the file so big that I could only save it as a TIFF and it won't let me upload it because its so big. On that one I was unable to get it to 45 degrees because the handle kept snapping to 44.98 and 45.02. I just left it at 45.02 and used the smudge tool to correct it to look a little better.

For this project we had to do an "inside out" picture; basically a picture of something (a face) that had something else "underneath". I decided to do a woman and a skull. I had a hard time finding a skull that had the same or similar proportions to a face. Eventually I found one that matched nicely, especially with the shadow on once side of her face in the actual picture. Now it looks like she is sleeping and in the dark you can see her skull.
