I have! I was laid off but left on great terms with both heads of the marketing agency I worked at.

A few months later I emailed one of the agency heads asking if there was anything I could work on at the agency as a freelancer, naming some of the types of projects I worked on when I was full-time.

At first I got a "Sorry not at the moment — things are weird here" response but two months later the other head of the company (who I had directly reported to when I was FT) offered me a freelance opp to work on two projects for a few weeks, and offering more work should it come up after.
