Peter, thank you for the compliment. The smaller swirl was by design. When I was a child I had a toy called Spirograph. It allowed you to draw shapes and patterns similar to the swirl. I set out to create with Geomags the patterns I used to draw with the Spirograph. As you said, the success of the smaller one led to the larger one. The glow in the dark was an after thought on the model because I thought the crossing rods would look nice lit up. Only after I photographed the glow model and enlarged the photo did I notice the reflection of the glow rods in the center sphere.
Tychi, thank you for your compliment as well. I also have many of those glow rods that don't glow well anymore. I will only buy unopened boxes of glow rods. Needless to say the opportunity rarely arises.
