From the Providence of Dreams

From the Providence of Dreams, by me--a digitally manipulated fractal art-piece. I made the original fractal from which this came using Xaos, a free fractal download for macs.

(I used to post a single image to a single blog, but nowadays, if people visit at all, they only visit ONE of my blogs. So they miss the other projects I'm working on. So those very few of you who visit more than one of my blogs will see this (and some of my other posts) on more than one blog. So sorry about that. It would be better I think to only have ONE BLOG! But it is too late for that, as I would lose my audience which is spread among many blogs! AK!)

Friday Fractal Monday

Oh-oh--Andree introduced me to a new fractal program which is a free download. It's called XaoS . It's very dangerous, like all fractal programs, and fun. I don't have much time to play with my Kresge Fellowship application coming due soon, but I must admit, I did take a little time out of my busy schedule. Mine are small becasue I don't have time to post big ones (they do get a little bigger if you click the images), but I may later, and they aren't nearly as nice as Andree's. But someday, if I have more time ever, I may do fancier ones!!

The Mandlebrot Buddha

I made this image for my brother using Fractal Works (a free download
for Macs). It reminds me of a meditating Buddha. All that energy
crackling around him.

Glass Crown

This is one of the many fractals I made last winter with one of my
fractal programs, Fractalworks, a free download for Mac users. I'm
still after almost 2 years a fairly reluctant Mac user and don't see
what all the fuss is about--I find Macs to be difficult and
unintuitive, but I've been told it's because I'm too used to PCs. PCs
stills trike me as so much easier. However, I'm slowly slowly slowly
learning the Mac and it is FAST! Its speed and its ability to
photograph portions of the screen at will are the only two things I
really like about it. That and fractal works. I wish I have a
nerdy-techno-friend who wanted to pour vast amounts of time into
answering my stupid Mac questions 24-hours a day so I could become
more efficient.

Friday Fractal Monday

I failed to post a fractal on Friday, too busy, closing on new house. So, here's 3D fractal to make up for it. This is from FractalWorks, a FREE download for Macs.

ABC Wednesdays, F is for Fractal

This is a new 3D fractal I made using FractalWorks. It works on Macs
and is a time sink because it is endlessly fascinating.

fireworks flower (fractal again)

Out-of-the-box fractal flame from Oxidizer. I still haven't got the hang of using oxidizer. At this point it seems much harder and less intuitive than Apophysis. You can see what I did with it in Photoshop here. Thanks to meeyauw for her tutorial here. Hopefully I will understand if I keep trying!

Fractal Friday: "The Optic Nerve"

Fractal art. With Apophysis.

Friday Fractals: My first fractals

Andree got me started making fractals. These are my first. To see what I saw that made me try it, go to Andree's page. (Reminds me of galaxies.) I did this with Apophysis, a free open source program. The link is on Andree's page.
