Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals.

What is a fractal?


fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by Karl WeierstrassGeorg Cantor and Felix Hausdorff in studying functions that were continuous but not differentiable; however, the termfractal was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

Here are my creations for the day


Starfish 


Elephants walking


Warmth


Brightening up your day


This one reminds me of a balanket we have.

If you want to give it a go, this link is to the best generator I have found so far:  http://www.fractalposter.com/fractal_generator.php ENJOY!

The Youtube clip of the day is a 104 YEAR OLD FILM CLIP "you are there" for a cable car ride in San Francisco ". This  film was "lost" for many years.  It was the first 35mm film ever.  It was taken by camera mounted on the front  of a cable car. The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely  amazing! 


My card for the day is Drink more water. Considering we are full of snot this card is very appropriate for us, drink lots of water and flush out the bugs.

Hi Denita
Just wanted to thank you for coming over to my blog. I think your fractals are great. The elephants are really clever, but my favourite is 'Brightening up your day'. X
These are so cool!!! I love the elephants walking.

If this is what you call mellow...so I can imagine what you would do at full speed...☺ Beautiful!

When a crystal (stone) breaks, you can see the same phenomena with out much technological information or tools. I have done jewellery and seen many stones break :)

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

Art Every Day Month Day 19 - My Romance

I have a few topics that I have been thinking about but they can wait, 'cause I want to write about me and my man. In his spare time (edit by shaughan: spare???) Shaughan loves to read fiction books (only written by men), watch 'man' movies and play live and online Texas Holdem' (currently he is banned from this by me). When he is in a social mood he likes to drink coffee, smoke ciggies, debate about politics and play his guitar. He hates mowing the lawns, being told off,  putting the rubbish out, and that I'm always right. Yes, he has the t shirt and fortunately a great sense of humour! This is Shaughan's favourite photo of him and Ralph. Shaughan is one of the most talented people I have ever met! He can talk to anyone and everyone, fix any computer , creates amazing websites , knows all about rugby and accounting, leaves me for dust with his writing and grammar skills. He could sell any type of car or really anything for that matter, and has an unbelieva
