Create Your Own Custom Kaleidoscopes

I have been having way too much fun playing with this new software that helps you create your own custom kaleidoscopes. It is so easy to turn your own photos into beautiful colorful kaleidoscopes. Just click on these pictures to get a close-up zoom view.

After I save the kaleidoscope as a tif or jpg file on my PC, I download it and move it over to my Mac where I customize it even more in Photoshop. Any drawing/image software program that can open a tif or jpg can open the kaleidoscope image. Or you can use it as created just like any jpg image. Then you can print it on fabric and sew with it!

Kaleidoscope Kreator is the easiest way to create beautiful kaleidoscopes from your own photos and images. Simply open a photo, choose a shape, position the photo in the template and CLICK! (These beautiful kaleidoscopes were all created using images by photographer Takuo Hirata. To see his amazing collection of breathtaking nature photos, visit www.hiratadigital.com.)

Choose from over fifty different templates to create the perfect kaleidoscope for any project (stars, circles, sun rays, flowers, pinwheels, squares and more).

Add a custom background color with the click of a button.

Print multiple kaleidoscopes on the same page (for cards and patterned paper).

Print large-format kaleidoscopes using a standard-sized printer.

Print wedges separately for making quilts using traditional piecing methods.

Save snapshots of your works-in-progress to retrieve and work on later.

Kaleidoscope Kreator is the perfect tool for quilting, scrapbooking, papercrafts, and so much more. The optional Quilters' Polygons Template Pack (available for an additional $24.99) adds sixty shapes, more than doubling the choices available in the base product. Polygons are basic building blocks for creating more intricate patterns and designs. Each template can be used in either the kaleidoscope or pinwheel mode, and there are solid and frame styles for each shape. Quilters will especially love these additional shapes when creating traditional quilt patterns. But this template pack is perfect for anyone who wants to create stunning geometric designs.
