In addition to toy kaleidoscopes and kits for kids 3+, Suzanne now carries about 30 lines of handcrafted kaleidoscopes in all media (wood, glass, metal, etc.) that range from $ 15 to large, one-​of-​a-​kind collectible pieces of «interactive art». They will truly amaze and astound!

She also carries several lines of handcrafted jewelry, plus 5 lines of «kaleidoscope inspired» handcrafted gifts, a few lines of glass art, and a very full & popular line of Sand Art pieces, each of which can be calibrated for speed and create a different image every single time!
