Teapot - thank you. Now from rope to wire.

OMG

For the second, did you use a "twine" brush or a "chain" brush?

level_0 - thanks; I used one of my own 'wire' brushes for the second mandala. It is like a red and black entwined, electric cable, but it is easy to change it to gold when needed

Let me know if you want the brush.

OMG, I loved doing those wire tutorials you made for us a couple years ago! We should revisit them, as they are really great tutorials. I find the last four you have done are amazing. If you are not busy, could you give some instruction on how you did this last one (mandala line art). I could not even figure how you started!

Thank you so much OMG! I didn't expect you to do that so soon! I have read through the tutorial and as soon as I can get my computer and Gimp to get along I will try this. Your patterns are so unique.
