Click on the pictures below to see the full set of unique variations on the design. I usually create between four and eight variations from one design, depending on the number of veneers I use in a particular project.
See individual gallery pics for pricing and details on each.

Kaleidoscope Panels
This piece is a set of four panels total. Individual panels are sized at 11 3/4" x 11 3/4" (essentially 12x12), and consist of two sets of mirror-image designs that can be rotated and pieced together in an almost limitless number of combinations. When all four are combined in a square, the piece measures roughly 24"x24".
The variations shown on the linked page are the four perfectly symmetrical designs that can be created by arranging each of the four panels into a larger square. With each variation, rotating the entire set 90 degrees will give an additional four combinations (each piece is technically in the same position relative to the others, but my eye certainly picks up new patterns after rotating everything)
There are also many different configurations that can be discovered that use only partial symmetry in the design, or that use a staggered hanging pattern to create an even more unique look. I have not included every variation here because frankly, I haven't discovered them all. :-)
Kaleidoscope Panels - Original Set
This is actually the first set of Kaleidoscope panels I made, requested by a client in California. In fact, this was my first doing an abstract/art deco piece. I am very pleased with the results and very glad she made the request.
Unfortunately, my pictures of the finished piece did not turn out as well as I had hoped, and since I sent them out long ago I can't take any new pics.
However, the colors and design still show true enough. This set of pictures was actually taken before the finish was put on, so the final piece has a brighter/richer look to it.
Those of you who are really observant might also note that, while each set of two mirror-image panels is intended to look identical, in this particular case, they are a little bit TOO identical. This is because I made the piece in two separate batches. I first made and shipped two panels, and then upon request (and discovery of the very neat options that can come from four panels), I made and shipped two more at a later time.
Thus, I never actually had the four panels together to take pictures of the full variations. Thanks to photoshop, however, I am able to create a very close approximation of what the final set would look like.
