How would you do that with something such as this? http://www.bittbox.com/freebies/free-vector-swooshes-and-fancy-corner-design...
Those are fun. I found that I could basically follow that tutorial in Inkscape, but here are the steps for you.
1. Create a tear drop type shape 2. Increase the number of nodes (this one is important) 3. Draw a curve/spiral 4. Select the curve, then add the shape to the selection 5. Effects>Generate From Path>Pattern Along Path>Dialog 6. Be sure to choose 'Copies of the patteren'>Single, Stretched

Later, when the add live path effects, I think this will work better.
