Wave spirals
A line that swells and thins, leaves almost straight and curls tighter and tighter, like the lip of a wave.
one curl · 1¾ turns · a small ripple two curls · 1½ turns each way one curl · 2¾ turns · no ripple one curl · 1¼ turns · a high ripple two curls · 2¼ turns each way · a rolling ripple two waves facing · 2 turns each
Ocean of spirals
