Guess what this is

[EscapeGirl]

Thanks, vlc. I am not sure I would have gotten it without your clue. I had a different name for it in my head, but couldn't remember it. Either way, I'd never have gotten it right.

This is either super easy, or quite tricky. Good luck. I'm off to bed soon.

Isn't that a pinecone?

[EscapeGirl]

Okay, so it wasn't tricky. It was easy. Yes, it's a pine cone. Congrats!

[vlc5863]

I can see how it would be tricky so close up as it is.

I'll go with telescope or kaleidoscope.

[vlc5863]

It's a kaleidoscope. Nice guess

[Jones]

Oh, thank you.
Next one (what is this glass called?):

[derek44]

umm lets go with
"modern art?" lol

[vlc5863]

Lol, Jones. It looks sorta like carnival glass. *googling*

Dichroic glass?

[Jones]

No. I'll need the company name, which this glass is commonly known as anyway.

EDIT: I meant the creator's last name is what it's commonly known as.
HINT: First name is Dale. I gotta get to bed.
