teapot, it looks like a picture of a doily from your house!

Teapot - that is fantastic. It looks so real! :coolthup

From doily to bats of the 'flying fox' variety in this case.

That looks really mysterious. I love the deep red colour.

A case of deja vu ... learning from Teapot's work, but a way to get yet

Thanks Erisian. Thought I'd better give it another go after seeing all the great ones here.

Sallyanne - terrific result; was it several brushes using Symmetry Painting?

Here are a couple using my own brushes/dynamics - did not understand what the brushes would look like, but for mandalas they seem to work. Paired them with a 'snakeskin' gradient background.

Yes several. Approx 5 fractal brushes. I have used them before. But I doubt I could ever get them as nice as some I've seen here. The doilies you are all doing are lovely. I would try to crochet them but cannot anymore.
Btw thanks Pat... It was a wispy blue one in here that teapot did that inspired me.
