Ballet under fractals for 'Saretta' For the ‘Giselle’ of fractals Thank you dear Sara for all the wonderful and mesmerizing artworks that you share with your fellow artists. And for all the support and cheering comments that you always leave and give on other artists including my own images is of highest regard and very much appreciated. I hope this image will bring joy to you as you’ve brought joy to me through your wonderful friendship as fellow artist. I hope you don’t mind me taking the idea for the theme from your multi collage upload image of the pictures when you yourself were still performing ballet. For you I opted for a music box that never closes and it has 360 deg. mirror surrounding, so that the ballerina can dance to her hearts delight, and perfecting each delicate pose and maneuver. Since my skills in making fractals in 'Apophysis' worthwhile sharing is still too poor!lol! I Instead used fractals made in Corel photopaint as light gels to add fractals to the scene. Since this is a single frame image and not an animation sequence, I trusted the use of the reflections to present a multi angle view simulating the slow spinning around of the ballerina. I will still like to make this a few seconds animation at least though. I'm paticular pleased with how the gradient blend between the red and yellow lights on the backdrop plains came out. The soft blue outlining was added in postwork, and it was used intended to give a more clearer view' but it had by luckychance also added a more 3D appearance to the ballerina.

These were found in just about all the homes of all my friends, and family, when I was still a young boy! Sadly!!!! today I don’t spot these at all no matter where I go. I guess some things tend to dissapear in the mist of time.!Not 'lol' right now! Thank you for viewing and for any comments that you may care to leave
