Hand painted mandalas

[teapot]

@ teapot, BR is "Bevel Reflect"

Thank you sallyanne.

This Gimp symmetry facility is addictive and lends itself to experimentation.

Love them OMG, especially the green one

Co-incidentally I've just gone green too using Ofnuts' neon-path plugin with symmetry painting.



PS: Off topic but also had a dalliance with tiling and some more knitting.

Teapot - very nice neon path mandala; interesting about the knitting .. do people still knit? I actually saw a lady on TV, in the crowd at the recent women's ashes cricket in England, who was knitting a cricket style, cable knit sweater. Shades of my dear old mum.

Anyway here is something also a little off topic, by way of my response to Erisian's comment to Sallyanne's post, 'about a mirror in the middle'. Here is a picture of an 18th century OMG, looking at himself in a gold, tulip patterned wall mirror

Cool mandalas

Yes people still knit. I saw a person knitting the other day - baby clothes

Congratulations to everybody I enjoy with your creations
Despite the tutorial Erisian, my productions are lamentable, I'm a hopeless case ... I'm going to take a break ...

level_0 - AnMal took one look at that one and said "WOW!" It's really nice.

Thanks AnMal
Why do not you come to GC?(if I'm not indiscreet)

I post some ugly tests as proof of my inability, and yet I spent a lot of time looking for ways to improve..I allow you to sneer!
and I tried to make one with a thick effect but that one I will not show it because hideous!

Those are so good level_0. I especially like the second one. I see you used the tutorial, that's great. You don't have to use paths to create brushes if you don't want to, you can just paint things or cut out photos and you can play with filters. Let your imagination run away with you.

Erisian,Erisian, besides your tutorial, I used your E-grass brush in the first one.

Yes you did. Sorry didn't notice.

Using MyPaint decoration brushes and multiple G'MIC filters.

Erisian

Would it be a nest of caterpillars or an angora sweater?

[teapot]

OMG, Love your mirror, you must have stash of ancient gold Knitting is still a popular hobby judging by the number of craft magazines in the shops.

level_0, Nice mandalas, I especially like the second one. The tulip brush is really pretty.

Erisian, That's a cool effect, looks like shell marquetry.

[oldmangrumpy]

Thank you all for your comments.

More interesting and different mandala designs - well done level_0 and Erisian.

level_0 I said it previously, you have a unique style in your work.

[teapot]

Both superb OMG

Couldn't resit having a go with a swirl like in your first one.

[level_0]

Thanks teapot and OMG

Still beautiful achievements,and with different styles, cheer!
teapot, I like the 2 but I have a preference for the finesse of the second.

[oldmangrumpy]

Hopefully Wallace will recognise his paisley brushes in this one ...

[teapot]

That's pretty OMG

Gave lace a whirl.

[Erisian]

I'm being wowed by all the beautiful mandalas going on here.

[level_0]

OMG,very successful as usual ,teapot,pretty placemats ,Erisian ,I prefer the first two (with MyPaint brush "leaves"?)

[oldmangrumpy]

Teapot, level_0 and Erisian - thank you for your comments; good to see so many neat mandala variations. Here is some more paisley and some more gum leaves -

[level_0]

I love the second, the subtle nuances.
