Make a brush - Make a mandala

I usually do not comment Mandalas, they are not in my ropes, as Gimp-chatters know, but this last one is so intriguing that I can't be silent: fascinating, really.

Thanks Erisian...
Initially I found that there were too many colors and the more I look at this mandala, the more I like it.
Now that I have understood how to make animated brushes (thanks to a video by Miguel) I can widen my playground.

lylejk show us on image 114 how to realise the "background" with Gmic. (Solidify for the background)

What started out as a paisley brush ended up with eyes and mouth :hehe

Nice work.
The brushes are not limited to mandalas but can be used for any artwork. They could be good for fractals and its possible they solve a problem. Part of that solution is to make a new brush from different brushes - from completely different brushes.

I'm sure OMG knows what I'm getting at here
