Seriously Strange Spirals

I have been on a major spiral kick lately.
I'm having far too much fun in the process.

Ebru Art, Tri-Spiral
A vibrant bold triple spiral.

Ebru art, Hexi-Spiral
Doubling up to the hexagonal spiral.

Playing with spirals isn't all fun. The hard part is making all the spirals look unique, not repetitive. Color and design go along way to add distinction among the spirals.

Ebru Art, psychedelic double spiral
A hint of 3D in this one.

Ebru Art, Psychedelic Rabbit hole
Down the rabbit hole we go!

As you can tell, I still jump at the chance to create optical illusions. Nothing is what it seems. Trust not your eyes.

Ebru Art - Antahkarana
The rainbow bridge, Antahkarana.

No spiral collection is complete without an illustration of the Golden Ratio. Known as the Golden spiral, or fibonacci numbers, my rendition leans more toward an abstract image, but keeps true to the 1/1.61 sequence.
