I scanned in some swirly bits that I drew. I'm not entirely satisfied with them, but it's a start. The idea is to remove them from the white backgrounds and be able to layer them over/under other imagery.
sort of like these book covers:
This one has ribbon shapes and antler shapes like the stars on this one the way the gate and vines are done
Edit 8/29: the sketch uplodes now, after resizing
;)
