justleesa:ok, first one just shows the design with out "Texas" in it
second...does this look better?
or do the leaves have to be wider?
Yes, leaves a little wider. Think sugar cane or palm fron growing out of an olive on a piece of green surical tubing.
justleesa:
Definitely the right direction. I'd say wider on the leaves, still.
I need me some poi.
I'm going through my pictures, trying to find some that show kelp the way it really looks. I took these, so if any of these help, go for it:
Upright kelp stalks tend to be a bit "bulkier" than you've been showing them.

I've received some pms with pics and looking at these here.....If I see right, in the bulk-ie groups there are more than one vines? the leaves are unevenly spaced and the bulbs range from roundish to more oval? close and widely spaced leave/bulbs...and some times the bulbs are the same color of the leaves (gradiant) and other times you have golden bulbs and darker green leaves? yeah?
Yes, and as you can see the bladders (bulbs) tend to pull the vines up in a close colum, in calm water, that ends up looking like a palm tree with frons all the way down the trunk. Sort of.
If there is a current the whole thing leans to one side and the leaves all fan out to the lee side of the column.
The whole thing is one color. The bulbs look different depending on where the light is coming from. If it is behind the kelp the bulbs look lighter, if light from the side you are on it will all look one color.

I grew up on Maui, so yes.justleesa:
I was going to post a video clip I had shot, but it wasn't compressed well. Better checking out the first two kelp videos from Mike's site: http://www.socaldivevideos.com/
And a few more photos:
justleesa:How many guys do you know named leesa?...and gold fish?
My humble apologies for the gender malfunction. I was still stuck on responding to Compu"Dude" when I typed that.
Garabaldi - Goldfish - Hey they are all orange and look like Damsel Fish. I do think that Goldfish are smarter though.
