I'm interested in comments on my latest experiment which is a circular cut of "fine English scroll" but distorted and unfurling under imaginary rotation. (Image attached).
My execution is mediocre with innumerable errors, but the distortion of the scrollwork is deliberate ( as I indicated, execution could be better). I think the idea is worthwhile with refinement, although not applicable to rectangular spaces. Feedback appreciated.
Scrollwork I think should be about 10-25% smaller. ( mild steel disc about 3 1/4" diam.)

looks interesting to me. i used to do spines in a distinct oval shape. anyone that got such from me was more than happy. i'm well aware that most here would stone me for that. that's ok. i like what i like, and if a recipient likes it, who the h cares ?? what you show here may be a total violation. who cares ? it looks good anyway.

Very interesting Crossbolt, you should definitely pursue this alternative design. I guess it takes a bit more imagination to calculate destruction which draws the eye in for further understanding… it is enjoyable view.
