Yeah, I do emotional fractals all the time, it gets the emotions out in a calm obsessed way that doesn't usually eat at me. I did one last year -- had some kind of dawn in the title-- I was putting my dog down the next day and was half out of my mind. It bothered me to have people say how pretty the fractal was, but, looking back at it, it sorta was. In an edgy kind of way. But that's the only time I was able to do a succesful fractal over as strong an emotion as that. In other words, one that wouldn't be dissolved in the fractal itself. I think fractalling and almost any other kind of art can be fueled by emotion. Emily
