help me create something

[chauncey]

Another smoke thing...what does it remind you of?

[Manfred M]

An ear?

[Shadowman]

Same here, an ear. With imagery such as this I like to spin it around to see if something else catches my imagination.

[Rita]

A Day Lilly comes to mind first.

[Brownbear]

Without a doubt, a gorgeous Cobra! And I can't wait to see in the final rendition!

[chauncey]

An ear...c'mon guys you can do better. Cobra...that sounds interesting. Meantime,
I used to own one of these.

[IzzieK]

Maybe if you have only one, the top especially, you can turn it into a nice gramophone???

[FootLoose]

I thought of a gramophone, too. You just need to add a smokey dog.

[Black Pearl]

Reminds me of a Specimen Hornling Hi-Fi speaker I fancy having to listen to in the conservatory.

[Dave Humphries]

I also thought "His master's voice" (gramophone), but to do that properly needs a dog too

Temporally gave up...this Stones song comes to mind...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROAKlnaMuRw

The beginnings of a Dini Surface.

Steve...I 'm thinking that you created that image using calculations in some sort of CAD program.
Am I correct? Don't see any practical representation of anything...

But the same could be said for my smoke stuff I guess.

[arith]

No I didn't do it Chauncey; it's geometry I'm afraid and I prefer algebra. Looks a bit like folded paper now but I suppose the smoke could do the same thing for some reason obvious to a geometer.

I was just reminded of it because I have the same pattern printed on a lens cleaning cloth.
