That's pretty good in Photoshop! And no, I don't know of a better way in Photoshop -- I'm still on v6.0 -- but your way is excellent in and of itself. Illustrator has very accurate brush flows, AND it allows corners and endings in the custom art brushes, so what I normally do if I need a flow brush type of thing is I bring the image into AI as a template and trace where I want the "rope", then bring the "rope" into Photoshop as a separate layer over the image. That's what I did for the trimming and the celtic knot chains for Temptress -- link above, but NOT SAFE FOR VIEWING AT WORK.
