You know, there are a few swirls in the gallery of the website of SIMS USA, which, to me, come pretty close to this. The quality of the pics is kind of low, though...

You know, Courtney2018 can also swirl. Her phone looks so wonderful! Maybe she can create a lizard, the way you'd like. Just and idea.

She's doing one for me as we speak, but it's been too humid down in Florida I guess so I've been waiting a little longer than expected. I'll post it up when she sends me the pictures.

Re: Do you like Swirls?


okay this is for Brosa, i've already said im not a fan of this but i think that this is what you mean? if not, let me know. i know i said 2 weeks but i got home way early today and thought id better make a start on it incase i had put my foot in my mouth! i can do big runs too, not always on purpose!!


i did say that i would do them with just 2 colors but more colors wouldnt be a problem.
heres another pic of one i do like.

That would be great, evolvedmb. I'd love to see a finished 'Courtney swirl' on a guitar. She posted a pic of one which wasn't finshed, yet. But it looked very promising.

It's difficult to say, because there are so many shades of pink, but he definitely uses fluor/ hot pink. Sometimes mixed with red, sometimes with white to get the Pink panther look.

Cheers, Sam
