Life’s not easy when your mind always wanders. Sugar, caffeine, salt and contemplation beseech you.
Internally hypocritical, ruled by aesthetic caprice, you dissect the actual and seduce the imaginary. Try. Tweak. Rearrange. Delete. Freak. Start again.
Your inner turmoil plaguing you as every small (often unnoticed) success is fashioned together by a sequence of countless failures - then instantly antsy upon completion.
It seems that everybody loves the SwirlyCurls, so here they are in thier fourth edition, random swirly curly vector foliage graphics.
Great vector graphics just in time for the fall season
Special Thanks These were created with the help of a fantasic Illustrator_Brush set from Bittbox.com. Please check out this site.. He’s fantastic, I love his work.

hi Jennifer,
thanks I downloaded the zip file and extracted the file to Adobe Photoshop CS3 but can’t find it within the program. I have a “trial” version of Adobe cs3…is this why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the great program, I can’t wait to use it.
Thanks,
Anne
Anne Says:
I Jennifer,
I figured out how to open this file I PScs3, but all I get is a PDF file of the Black picture showing here, I’ve tried to open all the extracted files & I keep getting only this one above back photo, nothing else.
Can you give direction on how to open the vector graphics after download, and then how to re-open the 4 designs inside an application to actually use the designs in a project. (?) Also what Programs can I open this with is it strictly AI or can I use PS? Thanks
Dahlia Says:
Hi there…I’m new to the graphic design world and still learning. However, I have a question about the usage of your graphics and want to respect your terms of use. If I use your designs to create digital scrapbook art such as patterned backgrounds that have been converted into a flattened image, to give away/sell in kits, would that be considered infringement? Your response is greatly appeciated. Thanks!

When I install Curls 4 it opens with the illustrator “default” symbols and not the curls 4 symbols. All the other downloads from this site have worked perfectly, what do you suggest? I am using CS3.
Kevin Says:
Jennifer,
What a great website! Thanks for all of the cool resources!
I just downloaded your swirls files. How can I use them in CS3? Do you use a wacom to create these?
Thanks!
Kevin

My friends… If you need your own flourish ornament use these set of shapes http://dezignus.com/floristic-shapes2/
It contains all basic floristic primitives, and all kind of curls and swirls. Have Fun.

Charlotte Says:
I would love to use some of your graphics in some of my design work and wanted to see if that is permissible based on your creative license restrictions. I currently create custom designed invitations, monograms, stationary products, business logos, etc. Please let me know if you would allow me to use any of your graphics. Thank you!!
Charlotte Says:
Also, I don’t have Illustrator currently, but instead use Photoshop for all of my designs. Do you happen to have an EPS file that I could use in Photoshop because none of these seem to work for me?
Eddy Says:

Jo Says:
Hi.. I am not sure what to do after downloading the zip file for your Swirly Curls. Don’t see the brushes when I unzipped. Please reply. Thanks.
Shreyasi Says:
hi,
I have AI CS2 12.0.0. I put the files in symbols directory but when I click on them in the symbols library window it says they were created in a newer version of illustrator. How can i correct this and how do i install and use these symbols?
Thanks a lot ! i loved the symbols and would love to use them !
Judy O'Brien Says:
Can I use the swirls with Photoshop CS3? I noticed that a lot of people thought you could. I was under the impression that they could only be used with Illustrator. If they could be used with Photoshop, that would be fabulous.
Thanks,
Judy
Spiky Says:

Mary Lemcke Says:
Just wondering how to get the symbols to automatically show up in the box. It worked for the Garden Symbol Set. Sorry if I’m missing something blatantly obvious on how to do this.
