Leftovers for dinner.

Can anyone guess what this is?

jenn3

I tried to blow it up in size, flip it around and still can't figure it out..........

konakat

Is it a fractal?  I.e., fractal art?

bluedahlia

Ding, ding, ding............KK

or mandelbrot.

I say it's a peacock. Very Apt Description, Blue.

I love fractals ... they make the best desktop backgrounds.

I was thinking at first it was a Grateful Dead picture thingy.

There is a woman on Flickr that makes a lot of fractals.  I love to browse through her collections ... they come out looking like all sorts of things.

OK....what is a FRACTAL & MANDELBROT?? I looked at the link Rabbit provided, beautiful artwork, BUT what is it?  kar

I guess the computer techs must be working on this thread. The number of posts keeps changing..........or we're being hacked! hehehehehehhehe!

It's a design based on a mathematical equation.

My guess: the art is psychedelic: pot inspired! LOL

No wonder I haven't heard of Math is 1 area I'm TOTALLY DUMB.  Thank You for the answer.

A 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 the idea of fractals go back to the 17th century, while mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by Karl Weierstrass, Georg Cantor and Felix Hausdorff a century later in studying functions that were continuous but not differentiable; however, the term fractal 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] There are several examples of fractals, which are defined as portraying exact self-similarity, quasi self-similarity, or statistical self-similarity. While fractals are a mathematical construct, they are found in nature, which has led to their inclusion in artwork. They are useful in medicine, soil mechanics, seismology, and technical analysis.  Edited to credit wikipedia

blue...It.s called spring cleaning.

They're not too hard to make if you are good at math and manipulating computers.  And even better when you're wasted.

bluedahlia

Laura, you should try it sometime.  It's not good for your health to be so worried and uptight all the time.

My Math brain just BLEW UP. Thanks! what's 2+2 I forgot. I'd put a cute emoticon up but I dont know how.Not good at manipulating computers or getting wasted.  kar

Blue:  That is a copy of the colors and designs used on this gorgeous gown I wore on our cruise!  If you think it looks fantastic in that photo, you should see in made into a gown.  I still have it and treasure it after all these years.  My brother used to bring me gorgeous materials from his trips to Europe and I have no idea what country he found that material in but it is gorgeous!

bluedahlia

Don't worry kar, I CRS either.

We all know that stress causes a lot more cancer than sugar! So - lighten up everyone.

Well I have a LIGHT story about the only male pet we had. Ebony was a solid black male cat. One night my DH brought home this tiny calico kitten he nearly ran over with his forklift. He set her to the side and before he came home he went to make sure the mother cat had collected her kitten,but she hadnt, so he brought her home. We made up a nice warm cozy bed in a box and went off to bed. In the morning we heard this funny sucking sound and it was Ebony "nursing" Confetti (kitten) inside her little bed and this continued for about 3 weeks. He was a wonderful loving cat.  kar

Alpal

Awww - that's a sweet story.

bluedahlia

Yep, we're up to 100 unread posts on this thread....those hackers are having a field day.

Medigal, the dress sounds beautiful.

Kar, how did a male cat nurse a kitten? I have some limoncello, you can get wasted on quite easily.

Edited cause I have 3 left thumbs tonight.

sheila888

Its not just this thread its happening at least 2 others that I post.

This happened before with ????? when she wanted all her posts deleted.

You know who I'm talking about. At least she alerted us before.

bluedahlia

I know....I'm just being facetious.
