One Hundred Days Art Project, Day 26-30

As part of the #roundrock100 Art Project, I am creating fractal art each day for one hundred days. This is my journal for day 26 through day 30.

Day 26- June 27-  Glynn Star Party- I made several patterns combining starblur with glynnSim3.
 

Day 27- June 28- Subflame Celebration. Starting with the same subflame, I created several designs. The shapes remind me of people lifting their arms in celebration.

Day 28- June 29- Heart Bloom- I started with a random flower and moved the sphere shapes around. I was surprised when the sphere shapes combined to form hearts. Another pattern showed up unexpectedly when I combined log, ejulia, glynnsim, and diamond in "Shell Sphere".

 

Day 29- June 30- Bicorn and Comfort Zone- For bicorn, I experimented with variations of a 3D cone shape. The shape and symmetry reminded me of animal horns. I added other shapes for background layers. For Comfort Zone, I used the previous design I made, "Comfort" as the background and as the subflame. Now it is curled up like a cozy cocoon instead of a hammock.

 

Day 30- July 1- Anemone Garden is another design with subflames and layers. I started with rays, which make an x-shaped glow, and then manipulated it to make an arrangement of flowers with interesting shading.

 

 

 

One Hundred Days art project- days 21-25

For the #roundrock100 Art Project, I pledged to create fractal art each day for one hundred days.

Day 21- June 22 Question Flower- With JWildfire software, you can add text as part of a fractal. Very small, symmetric letters look good when the pattern spins them around. The question mark looked the best of all the symbols I tried.

Day 22- June 23 Today I used images as backgrounds, textures, and layers to give a more complex look. Butterfly View uses a picture from the Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens as the background image. Then the fractal is layered on top and the colors in both pictures change. 

Red Composite #4 uses one fractal as the background, another one as a texture, and then two more as layers to add small copies of a pattern in a specific spot. 

Day 23- June 24 Sometimes a magical moment happens with JWildfire, and a simple creation looks crisp, colorful, and amazing.  That’s what happened when I made a grid of split border variation, and then turned it into a ball. Then I changed the camera angle and colors, and finally turned it around to look like a tunnel.  

I tried using other variations as the base for the grid, including one called bwraps.

Day 24- June 25- Comfort and Greed- today’s challenge for the FFC group was to use subflames. After creating a simple fractal design, you use it as a component of something more complex. The first design I named “Comfort” because it reminds me of a soft woven hammock or cradle. The second one is called “Greed” because it looks like hands or mouths or beaks all reaching out. I added a crackle effect to finish it.

Day 25- June 26- Blur Movie- With JWF, you can create a series of pictures and then use another program to compile them into a movie. When I made a pattern that changed a great deal with small changes to the variables, I couldn’t decide which version I liked. So I made it into a movie to capture all the variations.
