    Default storm at sea - i think this is working?
    hrm. i don't know that this is quite swirling the way i hoped it would, but maybe...maybe it's just that i've only begun?

    the picture looks more swirly than the blocks on my table. i made those background triangles all the same colour to provide some visual stability, but now i am wondering if i've disrupted the wave that emerges from the way you assemble the blocks.

    thoughts?

    I think it looks great - I can see the waving action emerging. I think you have a good thing going here.

    I think it will wave when it's more together. Love the blues and greens.

    I think you are OK. You really need to have more rows before you see the movement of the pattern.

    Wow, love your colors. I agree with the rest, the wave action will happen in a few more rows.

    Beautiful beginning. It sure looks wavy from where I am sitting.
