This is the second of the gem kalidiscope designs I am creating using gems,rocks, and minerals as the beginning point of the works. Each creation will begin from a photo or original drawing mix or and will develop as I manipulate, add in design elements, and effects. I began with some agates with this one and went on from there. I hope you like these designs, and will create more after the firsts if they are appealing. I will compile some into a quilt like design after I have made enough that work well together. This means I may have some with the same colors or elements, but different designs. I will need them to work together in the quilt design. I hope you like these. This one complements the kalidiscope design I posted up, Gem kalidiscope 4. They same base design was used to create both works. This was created using Painter IX.5, Corel Paint Shop Pro X, and Jasc Paint Shop Pro Studio software. I used my Wacom tablet & stylus to place elements (such as paint tubes (like glass marbles) in areas I wanted them to appear. Not to mention, some of my agate slabs.
