Kaleidoscope The Sphere of Childhood

Started with a round flower:
Masked the flower and blurred the background.
Made three layers of the cut flower.
Layer 2 was rotated 45 degrees and Opacity and Blend Mode adjusted
Layer 3 was adjusted ~12 degrees to fill in the holes in the perimeter and also adjusted Opacity and Blend Mode.

Interesting concept. I think I will try it with a source other than flowers.
I think that if I used flowers I would use pastel colours as I think that would look better.

What an intriguing work, Jack! Must have kept you out of trouble for many hours 
For me some of the intricate details and geometry are lost in the darkness, and I'd be interested to see a lighter or more strongly lit version.
To amersfoort, if you try out the idea please post to FYC or PP Forum in a new topic. We could get a series going, sharing tips and refinements.

I would think that anything that has a definable center would work. I chose the darker colors because that's what I remember from my Kaleidoscope.

I agree Linda and I tried a lot of combinations before the blend mode for my background layer was causing the problem. I changed it back to 'Normal' and got this.
Maybe too light now?

Definitely easier to admire the details with this one, but yes, could go a little darker - to each viewer's/creator's taste, of course. You can try lower opacity of your original blend mode, or masking of darkest areas. Lots of possibilities, though knowing your wide interests, I bet you're on to the next experiment, just like I usually am I agree Linda and I tried a lot of combinations before the blend mode for my background layer was causing the problem.

I think that looks a lot better.
