This one has a three dimensional effect, I think. It looks like rings of beads. Here's another version:
I called the second one "Esther's nightmare" because it reminded me of Esther's fever nightmare in Bleak House. While she was ill with smallpox she had a dream in which she was a bead in a giant necklace somewhere in the heavens and prayed for release from "the dreadful thing", but without success. It sounded both beautiful and terrible. I don't think these red and black beads are very terrible, but for some reasons that's what I think of when I look at them.
