Hi Merla, just check out www.livingwaterflowformsaustralia.com for lots of good examples and pictures of flowforms. Just realise that it has taken John Wilkes many years of research and trials to get the shapes right to form the lemniscates and flows. We pay royalties to him for his work every time we sell the flowforms. Best wishes Cheryl.
