Allure of shine / Catches my eye / Must make this mine / This I must buy / / I sell my soul / Mortgage the house / To meet the goal / And get for spouse / / This shiny thing / Made to be worn / Statement of bling / Looked at with scorn / / So let me now / Rethink this thing / Soon disavow / Value of bling / / Beauty divine / Priceless in worth / This brightest shine / She’s had from birth / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the human obsession for expensive, shiny things… or ‘Bling’. I have never understood the need for elaborate and gaudy jewelry. I see this sort of thing as more of an arrogant social statement than I do as an adornment to the human form, which is much more beautiful in it’s natural given state in my own opinion. / / To prove my point… when you see jewelry photographed for advertisements or catalogs, it is almost always shot alone and not on the body of a model in the location where it would be worn. Think about that for a second… they show clothing ON models, but they show jewelry OFF of models. This is because, in my own opinion again, jewelry does more to detract from the beauty of the human form than it does to complement it. / Remember Gollum… ‘my precious’. LOL / / Now some of you may think I’m just cheap, but that is not the case. I will buy my wife jewelry once in awhile, and when I do it is something simple, yet elegant, and of very high quality because my wife feels much the same as I do about ‘Bling’. When I do buy her jewelry, once again, it is more of a social statement to express my love for her with a material symbolism. It is definitely not because I think she looks more attractive while wearing it. Nothing is more beautiful in my eyes than my wife stripped of all clothing, jewelry, and makeup… as nothing can either accentuate or improve upon the natural beauty she was born with, as you can not possibly improve upon perfection! :) / / This was artwork created in Incendia. This was my first experiment creating my own base shapes and textures for Incendia. The base shapes were created from within Incendia with the built-in base shape editor. The material textures were created in Photoshop, and then imported into Incendia to use to render the fractal. The fractal is exactly as it was rendered. The only post-processing was to add additional black bordering to the background to bring it to a more standard printing size. Incendia’s maximum rendering size is currently only 3072×3072 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The original artwork is 3600×3600 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The details are difficult to see over the internet, so I have included a detail cutaway of the central spiral to give you a better idea as the overall detail of the artwork. The cutaway is at 100% of the original size. / / / /
Made in Ultra Fractal 5. I’ve been fascinated by the gemstones made by nmsmith, so I’ve been working on making my own fractal jewelry. Artisan is featured in the DIGITAL ABSTRACTS AND PATTERNS and SPECTACULAR SPIRALS groups. / 9/30/09, featured in the SHAPES AND PATTERNS Group. FULL VIEW PLEASE! There are details and colors in this that cannot be seen in the preview image. Thanks for looking!

This is hard to photograph because anywhere I was trying to had light that reflected back off it! Trying to capture the colour in the opal was tricky too. / My grandma bought me this lovely Australian Black Opal Pendant in 1980 when I was 12, I have had it put away all this time (29 years) and don’t ever think I have worn it, the docket is with it too, a precious piece of jewelery I will always treasure, my Gran having left this world now, leaving me with this stunning large heirloom Black Opal Pendant, opal being my October birthstone.
