Time for something a bit different

In happier days in 1965 The Hollies released 'Look Through Any Window'. The first two lines of the lyrics are below; today, unfortunately my image reflects the antithesis of those lyrics.

Look through any window yeah, what do you see?
Smiling faces all around rushing through the busy town.

This one started out as a candidate for my 'Make a Brush - Make a Mandala' thread but veered off course; so I put it here.

Somebody from another place said some of my mandalas resembled 'guilloche' patterns; I had no idea what 'guilloche' was so I had to research it.

So here are a couple of mandalas that are intended to replicate 'guilloche'.

[Pocholo]

Excellent work, OMG! Keep on coming.

[oldmangrumpy]

Pocholo - thank you very much; you want more, here's more!
