Well there's one award we all know she hasn't won! That would be the one for spelling!LOL To clarify to Lisa and join Rosemary. William and I have had several offers since we have been on R'osity. We have sold some of our images to a fabric company. William is the true artist in the family, I just do fractals because I love them! He has airbrushed quite a few murals in the local schools. He also has airbrushed cars and trucks and signs..etc! If you would like to see some of his artwork we have a web page at www.always-online.com/wbstroud/page1, go take a look! It's not whether we're all professionals. It's not even how many credentials and awards we have, it's whether or not we are happy with ourselves and our work at the end of the day! When we first started posting our work on this site, I had to deal with some constructive criticism. I didn't post anything that could compare to "Thorns", but the point is I took the comments and tried to make my images better! If she is so angry because of some critique, then maybe she needs to change her hobby! Vicky

Just one question comes to mind. Where are those awards located that Lisa aka fraktal_freak says she has? There's no proof on the internet no where! Me and William checked and would'nt you know it, we can't find anything! It's probably best that way! Vicky

Oh my goodness! I definitely missed this one! This woman is sick! This isn't art this is a mockery to me! I totally agree with you guys on this one! There is nothing sacred at all here! I am appauled, this is disgusting! I'm glad none of our artwork can be compared to this, so called "art"! So Mindy you keep those beautiful flowers and the serene "FRACTALS" coming R'ositys way! That goes for Rosemary, Tina, and Russalyn, all of which are the "True Artists" on this site!!!!!!!!!!!! Vicky(Mrs.paragon5)

Hi Mindy, Rosemary and Tina! I was just browsing through the forum. I read what everyone said, and I must admit I cracked up! You guys are hillarious, I needed a good laugh! My question is, where is this image you are discussing? I went to fraktal_freaks homepage, and gallery, she has deleted everything on there! I was curious to see this image. Don't quite know how I missed it when it was posted! If you can help I would appreciate it! Thanks...Vicky

Glad to know that we're not the only ones that have that problem. I have a problem with seeing peoples clothes and seeing fractals. I catch myself thinking, " I would love to zoom in right there!" Great question and a big relief.

Hi Susan, and welcome to the gallery! I saw your posting on 7-31, it was really beautiful. Keep them coming!! Vicky and William

I have a wide selection of fractal programs. My personal favorites are Vchira, Flarium24, Tiera-Zon, Fractal Explorer, Fractal Vizion,Raimuraito, Inkblot, Dust Fractals, Graf-Z-Vizion and Apophysis. All of these are free programs. It's mainly up to the person; whatever feels right and works for you. Most of the people here use Ultra Fractal and Xenodream ( they aren't free!) Try Paul N. Lee's site, there are a lot of programs there.

Hi Anne. Welcome to the Fractal Gallery. I also had a problem with thumbnails when I first started posting. If you want, I have a nice little thumbnail program I could send you. It's freeware, but it is still good. William

I for one do a lot ao single-layer fractals. Mainly because I'm really new to fractals. At the same time I do love to experiment, just starting with flames now and hoping to work my way to layering. In the day and age that we live in now, with everything in a constant state of change, who's to say what is traditional and what is not? What is non-traditional at this point, may within the next year or so, be considered traditional! Just enjoy what you do. Do art for art's sake! No more, no less!

Same here. Didn't get back home until 10:00. Be here on thursday night!

Sounds great to me. I'm willing to give it a try.

There's too many to name! I like to "play around" with several programs. The ones I like the most are: Vchira, Tiera-zon, Ktaza, Raimuraito, Sterlingware and Inkblot.

Thanks for the replies. I changes the size from 360 to 450 and everything went through just fine.
