Level_0, Anmal and Erisian - thank you for your kind words.

Anmal -glad you have contributed to a thread started by 'you know who!!'; nice work on your mandala too. I only use hand painting (symmetry painting) when using standard Gimp brushes, when I use my own brushes I get errors in 'symmetry painting' and so use Tin's Mura Meister Copies script to achieve a similar result. Plus I also do a fair bit of post processing.

Here is one with a strong glass influence that started as an entwined metallic mandala.

Erisian: Sigh. Just because you went vegan, isn't it? Obsessed by those greens.
Oldmangrumpy: Nice glass! One of your specialities :). There are so many ways of doing more or less the same thing - it's fun to see Erisian symmetry paint his mandalas, but I think I prefer doing it my way anyway.

Erisian: You've already heard me on the topic, but I want to point out once more that they are lovely and that last one is perfection. I said so, so it must be true.

They're beautiful OMG. AnMal loves the first (But then she loves tea as well!) and I love the second (and I have superior taste, whatever AnMal says!)

Oldmangrumpy: I love both of them, and I never look down my nose at bourbon lilies (French lilies, Florentine lilies, whatever you call them) - but that first one is soooo lovely! I want it hung from an amber-beaded gold chain around my neck.
Erisian: :rasp

Not strictly hand painted (it used the paths lines tool) but it used the mandala symmetry function which is really the point.

Erisian - neat lined paths image, obviously great minds think alike (Anmal please do not complete that old saying!

One lined paths mandala and one using my first attempt at creating personal brush dynamics.

Erisian :wvy OMG :wvy
it's beautiful, as always, but it discourages me ... :(
I would like to know how to do these last two.

level_0: It's almost (but not really!) annoying how good they are at this. :hehe
Grumpmaster: I like that!! The top one looks like a piece of early Art Deco tiling and the bottom one looks like one of Da Vinci's knots.
Erisian: :paint Permission to look smug granted for three days ahead. Though of course I won't get to see your smug face much now that the Christmas rush is starting.

Impressive and rich results from everyone, I'm loving all the colours and textures you are creating and all the lined paths work :jumpclap

Still at a rudimentary level, I tried making one of my old mandalas a bit metallic.

level_0 - in your last post you said you would 'like to know how to do these last two'. On the presumption that those last two were in my post, I have attached a PDF document explaining what I did. Hope it is what you were looking for :)
