April 2011 - month of Kaleidoscope

instant cuteness

With RealWorld Photos released, it is time to focus on less serious topics. Therefore I declare April 2011 the month of Kaleidoscope.

This toy is almost 200 years old and started as a scientific device. Combine a tube with a couple of mirrors and beads and you get a tool that creates beauty.

Learn more in wikipedia.

The first addition of this month is a Kaleidoscope effect script. Download and enjoy. Share your creations on facebook or flickr!

There is also a layer style that applies the kaleidoscope on the fly. Installing is a bit harder though.

And here is something extra: assemble an icon that looks like a kaleidoscope online.
