Description

It's hard to believe that there are already so many Christmas-targeted commercials on TV these past few weeks. And every time I check my Yahoo mail, Future Shop has a permanent banner telling me how many shopping days are left. Twenty-eight. Yikes! Guess it's time to *really* put away my shorts and tank tops... even though these last couple of days have been perfect for walking through the fallen leaves in sandals... ;) Have any of you actually started Christmas shopping yet? If so... could you toss me a few ideas about what's hot and what's not out there? I'm totally lost this year! Except maybe about that pen thing that is actually a computer. Have you seen that unit? Needs special paper but Holy Kewlness, Batman! I want one! I wonder if Santa lurks around Renderosity? ;) Ultra Fractal with sig in PSP. You've all been Ultra kind with your gracious and encouraging feedback on my latest stuff... and I thank you so very much. Thanks, too, for having a peek at this one. Hugs! Helen :)

Delightful theme executed so well. Xmas has come and gone in one sense; Black Friday netted me a 400 gig external drive for $100. But the real meaning of the day transcends a bargain....

Helen that is just dreamy! I just love how you got the opaque spiral to wrap around like that. I wish I had some ideas, but alas I do not.

I like the way this image combines a spiral with a sphere and blends the two beautifully! Wonderful colors and a lovely, unusual image! Kudos, Helen!

A simply glorious fractal! WOW! I'm afraid Christmas stumps me every year - no-one, including myself, wants anything that's cheap enough!!!

I hear that those large screen HDTVs are quite the thing this year. Of course socks and wallets are equally popular and most deservedly so. You've created a lovely spiral, the subdued colors of late fall changing into the brightness of a warm, sunny winter day. I mean the brightness of the snow after the sun comes out of the eternal darkness for a peek at the world for a couple of hours. Beautiful work and happy shopping!

Oh, another one for my favorites. Darn, you monopolize that place! This is just so beautifully unique. Absolutely beautiful. Yes..I started shopping for Christmas. I bought myself a recliner and a vacuum cleaner..lol.

All of the colours of late autumn slip silently under the new fall of snow over all of nature. An elegant spiral opens into the wide fall of new sterile covering to enter the fourth season of our winter dreams. Clever and lovley.
