I like this direction. I like the way the center draws my eye and the outer crescents frame it.
How about you?

The patterning in
part 9 shows promise. I don't use color often in my sculptures but sometimes I try. What pattern would these wheels create if I filled the outer crescents with color panels? Only one way to find out!
I liked the direction the patterning was taking in part 8. I realized that the simplest form of this wheel is just 4 circles, two large and two small. The blue parts were added to complete the circles. The hollow lines represent parts I removed. Check out the animation below, complexity from simplicity.

In part 7 the light wood spokes obscured the patterning that really interested me, the action around the outer and inner rings. In the drawing above I removed all the spokes but the two I show in blue above. The hollow lines represent the removed spokes. The resulting pattern is shown in the animation below.

I like what is happening in part 6 but I find myself drawn to the pattern created by the rims of the wheels. What happens if I make the wheel two tone, switching the part with spokes to light wood and leaving the inner and outer rims alone?
No, I don't like what is happening here. Too much "noise" in the patterning. This needs more work. I like the rim motion, the spokes need to be dark wood or not there at all.
