I picked two thirds because it seems to be a ratio that is used
alot - at least in the stuff that I have read.
Thanks

1.618:1 will probably be just about right (by eye).
The number crops up all over the place ... Do A Google Search for
"Fibonacci" or "Golden Mean".
I was working out proportions for a candlestick last night and when I
redrew my design to incorporate that ratio, things just fell into place.
Widest section was 1.618:1 of narrowest portion. Length was divided in the
same way. The resultant points were connected with a French curve and
BAM it was all good.
Then I added a narrow bead at the intersection line just because I can't
resist messing with success.;-)
