    Default Trying to make a twisted brush

    I am trying to make a twisted brush sort of like a candy cane but not quite. What I want is a straight section with a twisty line sort of like the blue stream stream in this photo. Any suggestions? It used to be relatively easy but not now at least for me.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Gary. I've been trying this from your file but so far I can only get it if I clone one of your lines will keep trying though.

    Am I in the ball park, or a train ride away?

    Thank you Chris and Gary.
    @Chris I should say you are. How did you do that?
