Peggy and Steve Kittleson greet life with a smile, In fact, it would be a rare moment indeed to find either one of them without a smile. Their happy expression springs from an inner source of spiritual heritage as well as their enthusiasm for living. Life on an Iowa farm keeps them attuned to the flora and fauna that they lovingly infuse into their kaleidoscopes.



Singing and baking are two of Peggy's favorite non-scope activities, and Steve opts for reading or spending time with family and friends in his off -hours. But most of their time is spent designing and perfecting their award-winning kaleidoscopes. Fused glass is the main medium for both the barrels and cell objects of their collectible pieces. Peggy's tiny torch-worked flowers rank among the most beautiful objects of all to be viewed through a kaleidoscope.



Revealing their metaphysical connection with scopes, Peggy insists that, "Kaleidoscope images are like precious moments in time that we must cherish, because once they are gone, we can never get them back." Steve adds, "They are also like people - they come in a wide variety of exteriors but only by looking inside do you see the true beauty unfolding."
