Description And every day and every night they'd
play upon my heart a song
So plaintive and so wild and strange that
all who heard it danced along
And sang and whirled and sank and trod and
skipped and slipped and reeled and rolled
Until, with eyes as bright as coals, they'd
crumble into wheels of gold...

~Neil Gaiman The Fairy Reel

Thanks, =lyastri , so much for helping me figure out that pretty, painterly technique.

An exquisite piece of bone-and-shell ornamentation from the dressing-table of a noblewoman of the Ottoman Empire Perhaps my imagination needs a holiday, it seems to be working too hard

This is amazing, and definitely something new from you. Love how the design flows.
It's really a mystery how these fractals are born.
