Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal is again a scene in the Z^-2 julibrot, this time part of the YW slice.  It reminds me of bouquets of bows made from the ribbons that wrap gifts, so I named it ribbons.

I can see that I've got much exploring to do in the odd slices of the negative mandeloids.  There seems to be some really interesting stuff in there.

Before I go, I must add my few words of praise to Alice Kelley for her Alice in Fractaland web page.  That seashell fractal is one of the best I've ever seen.  Curiously enough, a few months ago I wrote a test formula virtually identical to the one that drew the seashell picture.  When I discarded it without giving it a fair tryout, I made a big mistake.
