The Best Fractal Competition Thread

I'll start it off with a few:

I don't much do photos, but let me help the rest of the audience catch up as needed. (i hadda)

I love quilts!

watching with interest

jenny Beyer makes really neat tessalation and chaos quilts.
I can give you an equation and you can graph it.

Mmmm was that made with a special program?

I'm ignorant aperson...why is this fractal art?

n. A geometric pattern that is repeated at ever smaller scales to produce irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures in nature.

Sorry for the screen stretching.

all I can see is theft...lol

thanks wiz

heres a lecture series on fractal analyses in geo structures by a geostat guy in Nebraska http://maps.unomaha.edu/Maher/GEOL2300/week4/week4.html

They have geography in Nebraska?

If you look at surface features: flat. If you dig: mud.

I dont know who designed the pattern or how, but this one is the most interesting to me - you can see the swirl and movement better when the picture is small - I'll link it here (if you go to the third page it's the second image on the top line) but I like the way the straight lines work together to make that swirling movement, and the colors.
So this is more of a traditionally pieced quilt - in that it is made up of pieces or strips of cloth pieced together.



It seems that for most fractal quilts - the person prints the image onto one large piece of material and then embroiders, usually french knots, following the curving lines and defining them and then hand quilts the fabric.

It seems some people have had problems with adding pictures. If you can't, just give a link.

Briefly going over the steps to post an image, right click on the image, click on Properties, copy the full image address which should end in .jpeg. Then click the Img button in the response page, and you will get a [img]I(/img] with the cursor blinking. Just copy of .jpeg address and click on Reply.
