I also didn't think I would ever do anything with them. But I did. I have been busy with After Effects this semester, doing special FX for my final project. So I took some time to play around with the spirals. This is what I came up with.
As you can see, I got progressively more complex with the rings, and added more and more as I went along. I also got more varied with the way that the spirals were placed.
All in all, I think this turned out pretty well.
