Here's one of the better results I've come up with. For those interested, this was created using only 3 x-forms. All 3 had the linear setting, and one had the sinusoidal variation as well.

This is four iterations of the flower of life pattern superimposed on top of each other. I got the idea after seeing some of the art of Charles Gilchrist... This image is made by drawing the next iteration of circles from the center of the vesica piscis. The first image is what you get by doubling the size of the entire grid. The first image only has 2 iterations.<div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8300650682667501729-8858614574194418419?l=bakervillia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Baker Beltzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04917355140068991385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300650682667501729.post-64581809697723022652010-05-02T18:42:00.001-07:002010-05-02T18:45:15.838-07:00<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kmbIHWfByqc/S94qLPQJjmI/AAAAAAAAABc/5hgVOdEio7M/s1600/digitalAnalog003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kmbIHWfByqc/S94qLPQJjmI/AAAAAAAAABc/5hgVOdEio7M/s400/digitalAnalog003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466853370235555426" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>So I recently watched this documentary called "My Kid Could Paint That" about a then 4 year old artist named Marla Olmstead.
