Playing around tonight, I was surprised to see these hearts emerge from the twisting lines.

This looks like a beautiful wire sculpture, Rob. One thing troubles me and that's the straight line at the outside edge of every other loop. I find it very distracting from what otherwise is a great image.

Fascinating, Rob! Love rising from chaotic symmetry I'd like to hear how it was created.

Thanks folks.
Carol, the line actually extends clear around the image. However, looking back at it, I can see where it can be a distraction. I suspect it will be a lot of work to remove it, but it might be worth it.
Gary, there really aren't that many different steps to making these designs. http://gallery.heartland-images.com/TwistedIce shows the original image I started with. I then use polar coordinates, mirror images, and selective cropping. For the complex images like this one, I duplicate a layer, set it to "difference", then rotate it into position. Repeat as needed; figuring out when to stop is tough sometimes :).
