I started off with marbles on a patterned carpet, rolling the small marbles into the large marble, letting them form their own pattern. I liked the pattern formed but found the carpet to be distracting.
In contrast my second set of pictures was on plain carpet, although I liked the pattern that was forming, I felt this was too plain... it just felt like I was staring down at the marbles.
Well finally decided on our Christmas game, Mancala, which has the perfect glistening counters to use. I placed the counters alongside the board. The table gave an interesting background without being too heavily patterned and therefore distracting.
This picture above shows the marbles are linked and I have shown on the last picture below with arrows.
This last picture has no set pattern...
Here the black counter takes your eye and then the other counters lead out from this, which I have marked with arrows. They need to be fairly close to each other to stay connected.
