You can find the basics on my free teaching website.

I go into a lot more detail in the book but you can learn the basics pretty easily.
I have a small size template in the book and the size template for an 8" across Dresden Kaleidoscope.
My method is a combination of a kaleidoscope and a dresden plate. There are a few sites online where you can find this idea but I tried to make it easy to understand and follow the steps to great looking Dresden Kaleidoscopes.
I also show 3 differant ways to finish the Dresden Ks in the book
I can't use anything I put in the book to teach for free but I can help you with the basics. If you need any help just let me know!
sorry not trying to sell here just to explain the differance.
I did do a tutorial on making a mousepad with a Dresden Kaleidoscope which I still use.
I think that is the one you will see on the Quilting Paradise newsletter

There is also a very good dvd which he does which is excellent. If you belong to "The Quilt Show" Alex Anderson & Ricky Tims, he does a workshop on them.
