A Play With Curved Lines
A little bit of playing around with a randomly drawn sequence of lines and then copied and rotated many times to achieve this strange spirographic type image… shows a little of my warped train of thought from time to time!!!

how long did the playing around take? Very precise
Craig Watson replied
Just drew a squigly line… copied and pasted it, rotated the copy 10 degrees and then centred the two. Copied the two and rotated them 20… centred and grouped them. Copied again and rotated 50 degrees and centred again etc etc… untill all 36 images where complete to form the full circle as it where! The 36 where then grouped.
Then I copied that group, pasted the copy and did a mirror image. Centred the 2 to “create” the outer structure and grouped them again.
Copied the lot, shrunk it to fit inside the inner circle, centred it and grouped them yet again. Finally, I altered what was a full circle into the elipse and there is the final result. Could not really say with any certainty how long it took, but probably an hour, if that.
