Me too, Denise. There is something primeaval in the shapes, curls, ripples and other. I got some incense today, finally, and it is much better for uniform and long burning smoke. I wish you and other interested members would post some as I think there is a lot that I can learn from other experiences.

Pretty special Charlie. This one looks like the design inspiration for tail lights and door handles from the cars of the 50s. :wink:

I've looked #1 & #2 over, can't decide which of the three I like best Charlie.
All have great appeal/interest with their swirls, twirls, and shapes..
They really "fire" ones imagination (pardon the pun)...And where there's smoke there's fire :biggrin:
Well done! :toast:

Thanks Jeremy, Sandy, Jim, Howard and Pat. I have been breathing a bit of smoke but not to bad YET. :smile: My most pressing wish is that I stop this before you all get bored to death with it.

Charlie,
the lines you captured are outstanding. The shape of the smoke here reminds me a parchment. I like it a lot. :toast: :wavey:
