New Zazzle Fractals Shop

Alien Worm Cocoon Fractal by FunWithFractals

I was looking at all my various bits and pieces across the internet - blogs, stock sites and Zazzle shops when I realised it was all really one big jumble. I need to get it all organised if I am to make any progress with it all.

I already have my photography shop on Zazzle and I also started a World of Warcraft T-shirt shop. My thinking was that the audience here for my art and craft type stuff isn't that interested in my World of Warcraft stuff and vice versa! But within my photography shop, I also added my fractal designs and now as I look at it afresh, I decided they don't really fit there.

I also stumbled over the new iPhone cases, skins and speaker covers - all great candidates for fractal designs so Fun With Fractals was born. For the moment, I only have iPhone cases - I'm still trying to work out how to create templates to make listing multiple products more easily but I am really pleased with how effective my fractals look - makes me want to buy an iPhone so I can have one of my snazzy fractal design cases!

I'm Loving these Fractals :)

Another fractal but this time all my own work. Admittedly following the tutorial guidelines but I'm learning more as each day passes. It's probably just as well that I'm not working at the moment - I think I'd be champing at the bit to get home to carry on fractalling (!!)

Another Type of Fractal

I've been trying out some tutorials for Apophysis and this one by Claire Jones on DeviantArt is not only a superbly written and well documented tutorial - it produces the most amazing fractals I've seen yet!

How about this for a first attempt? Apart from the colour scheme, it's exactly per the tutorial but if you'd seen some of my results from other tutorials, you'd understand why I'm showing off this one! LOL

I can feel a new addiction coming on!

Exploring forums and blogs as I do, I came across mention of a fractal program called Apophysis so I went and downloaded it (it's freeware, yay!). I had a fractal program on my very first computer, many years ago now - an Amiga 1200 and had hours of fun, creating weird & wonderful Mandelbrot designs. I even turned one or two into cross stitch pictures (very simplified of course). So I just couldn't resist having a look at the new (to me) program. Oh wow! I never realised how many different types of fractals there are or how beautiful they could be.

Here are a few of my very first attempts :)

So if you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know why! :)
