--- Begin Message ---Hello Steve, This doesn't really answer your question. But there is a gentleman making Renaissance Rose Engine machines that were designed to do this very thing. [ https://lindowroseengine.com/#resources | https://lindowroseengine.com ] I would love to have one of these beautiful Rose Engines.

I'm thinking of patterns something like this: [ https://as1.ftcdn.net/jpg/02/80/01/88/1000_F_280018862_NIohBeFl2wXhIs4e9f2usvMiOT4QcKop.jpg | https://as1.ftcdn.net/jpg/02/80/01/88/1000_F_280018862_NIohBeFl2wXhIs4e9f2usvMiOT4QcKop.jpg ] Maybe some kind of fractal generator would do it? There are plenty of fractal tree generators but I can't find one that does tendril patterns. I also wondered if a maze generator could give me something to start from. I found a nice one at [ https://codebox.net/pages/maze-generator/online | https://codebox.net/pages/maze-generator/online ] If I set it to do a hexagon maze, I get patterns that might provide a starting point but I can't figure out a way to make smooth curves out of the longer sections. Conversely, if I do a square maze, I can't see how to add a bit of waviness to the branches. Last point, I would prefer SVG output over image format (PNG might work, JPG would almost cause give blurred edges).
