I think they would make great jig saw puzzles

Wow, this thread has blossomed since I have been away. There are fractals, nature brushes, flowers and even a tutorial. Thank you all for joining in and making this a fun thread. It's been a real pleasure seeing what everybody is producing. :ghug

Not entirely hand painted as I used paths and gradients. :paint

Me, too. teapot, it seems sweet.
Erisian, beautiful mandalas in nice colours.
I created a brush similar yours and then played with it. Thanks for your idea. :tyspin

Neat outcomes everybody :jumpclap

Here is one for Anmal - I tried to do this one using 'symmetry painting' but it kept clipping/deforming the brushes, so I used Tin's 'Mura Meister Copies' script instead

Following the issues I had with brushes (see my previous post) I decided to try symmetry painting again with a variety of 'home made brushes'. Several times I obtained clipped/deformed results but found that switching symmetry on/off seemed to fix it.

In my garden,I have what is commonly known as a flowering gum tree (corymbia ficifolia), so I used images from it to create brushes, being gum leaf shapes (which I then painted), gum nuts and flower heads. Anyway here is the result, no other scripts used just symmetry in mandala mode. Oh and I put the gum leaf fairy in for good measure!

Erisian, you are so artistic and creative. Your creations are always a reference to the forum. :tyspin

Really lovely OMG. I've also seen symmetry painting clipping brushes but, when making my own brushes, got round it by making a big transparent border around the brush that's big enough for the brush to be rotated to any position. The issue has been fixed in 2.10.12. See here:
https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/06/12/gi ... -released/

(That said I've had to back out of using 2.10.12 as I've been having other problems since attempting upgrades).
