 Diatoms was created for the "Under the Sea" map making competition.  Diatoms are simple algae.  I choose them for this theme mainly because they often have very regular shapes, and I thought I could use them to make an interesting geometric tiling board.  But as I read more about them, I thought they were pretty interesting in their own right. Diatoms was created for the "Under the Sea" map making competition.  Diatoms are simple algae.  I choose them for this theme mainly because they often have very regular shapes, and I thought I could use them to make an interesting geometric tiling board.  But as I read more about them, I thought they were pretty interesting in their own right.
