Art Nouveau Ornamental Panels

Mosaic Tendrils

Colored beads bloom and connect with gradient lines, branching into tendrils that slowly replace oldest nodes. Art Nouveau palette: gold, sage, rose, peach, teal.

When to use it

Art-nouveau or decorative hero backgrounds, ambient loading screens, botanical or filigree-themed brand presentations.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlays — growing dot network competes visually. Not suitable where motion must stop on demand.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the palette to cooler tones by replacing PAL.sage with '#6b8fa3' and PAL.rose with '#a07db0', and slow growth by changing the interval threshold from 0.26 to 0.55. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • color palette (PAL object — 5 named colors)
  • max node count (MAX=64)
  • dot size range (5+Math.random()*8)
  • growth interval threshold (acc>0.26)
  • mount pre-roll (22 tendrils grown before first paint)
  • branch distance range (18+Math.random()*34)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • node cull loop (while nodes.length>MAX)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Growth is purely random — no directional bias, so tendrils can cluster in one area
  • Resize re-seeds entirely, losing current growth state
  • Many nodes create many DOM elements — may slow on low-end devices at high MAX

More Art Nouveau Ornamental Panels components

  • The HaloThree nested SVG rings of gilded beads and teardrops rotate on slow opposing axes around a breathing gold rosette, evoking Art Nouveau's decorative halos.
  • Whiplash VinesSinuous sage and teal tendrils grow and curl on parchment; each vine ends in a rose or gold bezier-petal bloom, fades, and the cycle restarts.
  • Border WeaverMirrored Art Nouveau bands draw themselves stroke by stroke — gold sine scrolls, sage waves, rose petals, and teal beads trace across parchment then reset.
  • Floral Mandala12 mirrored sectors of sage stems, leaves, and gold-cored petaled flowers breathe and slowly rotate around a central rosette on a dark warm ground.
  • The Four Seasons ArcRotating floral halo cross-fades through four seasonal colourways — spring sage, summer rose, autumn gold, winter teal — each with distinct petal count.
  • Stained RibbonThree layered ribbons in teal, sage, and peach undulate across a dark ground in a stacked sine-wave motion, edged in gold with glinting enamel bead accents.
