Fractal Cupie Doll

What do you see within this fractal image?
This fractal reminds me of a flower soaking up the suns rays.  If you resize the image, you may see a cupie doll on the inside on the flower.

Fractal Apps

I'm sad to say the Fractal Serendipity app has bitten the dust.  It is being replaced with the Fractal Architect 2 app (by the same software company).  I know this because the FS app I have installed on my MAC crashed and that's what was suggested to me.  The FA2 app has a hefty pricetag for an app ($23.99).  I believe I paid around $5 for FS.

Thinking maybe I should just bite the bullet and purchase UltraFractal for the few extra dollars that it would cost.

That being said…here's a fractal for today…

Fractals and Textures?

A couple of us in the Texture Artist group were discussing adding textures to fractal art.  First, I made a basic fractal pattern using Ultra Fractal for MAC.  Then I added a bokeh texture from LO2.  Finally, I added a painterly texture, also from LO2.

I am on Day 326 of the UltraFractal trial (if anyone is still counting).  Please excuse the watermarks.

This is a first attempt.  I was trying to make something more creative, but the Fractal Serendipity app seems to be crash happy today :(

I Didn't Forget About You

It may seem as I've forgotten about this blog, but I have been busy with other creative endeavors.  I put aside fractal art for a few weeks in favor of experimenting with textures.  There are a lot of free textures out there, but most are not high quality.  I found a place that has great deals on textures and I've gotten two sets (more than 300 items) for $27 per set!

So here's a shout out to the Facebook group Texture Artists and the admin of the group, Denise Love :)

I'm also posting a link to the latest sale page for the textures I just downloaded. I believe the sale is on for nine more days.

Now I'm thinking how awesome it would be to mix fractal art with texture.
Stay tuned…………
