I have never heard of it! Sorry I missed it!!!!

Sorry about your pc, Barb!!! It's almost like loosing a close friend! May it rest in PC Heaven!

Now that's what I consider the best compliment I have ever had!!! Thank you! I have one parameter that I have made all of my Constellation series from and I do no post work, except maybe to lighten up, or adjust the color a tad. I use Irfanview for this, so what you see is exactly how it comes out. Just like all of my Squares, they all came from the jellyfish param. If I find a great param, I stick with it untill I feel that I can no longer get any thing else out of it. To break the bordem, I might try working on another param, but always go back to the old dependable one! The Constellation param is a little tricky, and I really enjoy finding something in what most people would give up on. I love the fact that they are different and not anything like what someone else is doing. I was worried that since they are so different, no one would like them. Since I love them, that to me is what counts, I'm just glad that others seem to enjoy them too. I feel for you and your pain, I hope that you will find something that will help. I also have to use a breathing machine 4 to 6 times a day for my asthma, so my art is a great pleasure to me!!! Aging has not been very kind! LOL Try to stay healthy, Patti

This is a very interesting topic, indeed! I have been a member here for over a year and on more that one occasion I have been told that, to get comments, I have to give comments. So here I go leaving comments and then I began getting comments, but I wasn't sure if it was because they really loved my work or if it was because I left them comments. From time to time I would have to stop leaving comments because of the rheumatiod arthritis in my hands and fingers. Then the comments stopped coming. So, I tried leaving comments again. I have basically stopped leaving comments now, because after spending so much time typing, I spend the rest of the day and night, taking prescriptions, rocking back and forth (in pain and usually crying) with each hand wrapped in heating pads and F****D up from pain meds!!! I hate not to be able to leave comments for images that I really love, but I had rather not have any comment than to go through this every day. I hope that I have not hurt anyones feeling, I consider each and everyone of you as my family and I love you all!!!! I hope that you understand about the lack of comments and I will understand, if you don't leave comments for me. I will still try to keep posting and I will try to keep posting comments from time to time, but I can't do this every day! If I do leave you a comment, you do not have to IM me with a thank you. That should save some people a little extra time for doing something else. Love Ya!!! :) Patti

Checked out your site, looks very promising. Can't wait til it's finished! Good luck!!!! :)

WOW, thanks, Tracey!!! That is such a wonderful compliment especially coming from someone with your infinate knowledge of fractals. I wish that I had just a tad of what you know and can do!!!

Thanks for the greyscales, can't wait to use them!!! I'm always looking for different colors.

Yes, I too agree with Arend! I have mentioned the Weekly images to several people and they had no idea what I was talking about and this has happened even after the gallery has had several weeks of postings and they still had no idea that it even existed!!! I am glad that you are working on an easier way to find it. It has been well worth the visits for me. I do enjoy seeing new face and new works that I may have missed. Great job with the Window Weekly!!!!!!!

This has been a wonderful experience for me and I look forward to seeing each weeks new finds. sometimes I have noticed images that I may have missed. So far, each image that I have seen there really deserves a place in the spot light. They are works of art that the creators should really be very proud of! I hope that one day I will see one of mine posted there but I still feel that I have a lot of improving to do. I would love to see this more in the future than the HOT 20's. I don't even look at that page any more. Thanks for the refreshing new outlook on wonderful fractals!!!!!!!

In case anyone is wondering, I sent Steve an IM, I had to thank him for a couple of things. NO NOT THAT!!! You Silly Willy! LOL Just kidding, you're not a Silly Willy. HMMMM...... or are you? I am! Love Ya!!!

Hey, if you figure it out, come to my house and show me how to do it. I've had UF for a year and I'm one of those show me's and don't tell me's. I am green with envy at the ones who use it!!! I have seen the most beautiful work and it taunts me and laughs at me. Making fun of me for being so dumb. LOL Sorry about that, it just drives me crazy!!! Good luck. :) ;P

Maybe you're right! But it's frustrating not to have what some of the other artists have, the 3Der's, painters (oils, water colors, acrylics), photogs and etc. a chance to see one's hard work in bound print with others of their own kind. Who's to say that if there was a book, my work would be in it any way. Wouldn't that be a kicker!!! It would still be nice to look at other's work in printed form.

You're right, Yvonne! This is as good a place as any to start. I have seen more fractal artist here than any where else and since R'osity does get a lot of attention, maybe this will come to pass with the help of everyone involved. 3D had to start some where too, at first computer art of any kind was not considered art either, but with enough people getting into it, it grew like wild fire and now it's at the top of it's field. I just hope that some one will give fractals a chance to grow in to the "mainstream" too!!

Thanks Leanndra for your comment! I am glad to see that I am not the only one who feels this way. I know that there are expenses in publishing a book, but if an artist has a better chance of having images published then the price to publish might not be so bad. 3D is great but it gets a lot of press. I read a lot of homepages and it seems that there are many artist who just happen to stumble into fractals. Many never even heard of fractals! To me being able to read your own thoughts into an abstract image and using you imagination while veiwing an image is more powerful meaning to the veiwer than having the artist reveal everything in the image. Imagination is the key to fractals, atleast for me it is!!

Thanks for letting me know, I will check my settings and try again. I hope that this will work!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!! :) Patti aka coolbreezelady
