Fancy, swirly garnishment in AI

1

Does anyone know of an easy way to make those fancy swirl designs in illustrator. I think it is called embellishment. Often found on fancy french furniture or old-fashioned artwork. It is hard to explain i will see if I can find a sample. I can make them by hand but it is very tedious and I have seen some designs that are so erfect it had to be generated with a plug in or something. Any help greatly appreciated.
