This new series is really a continuation of the Experiment 2023.2 series. I was wrapping up the final pieces, cleaning them up to publish. Then I entered art-mode again, and created over a dozen more pieces to publish.

The Experiment series was getting too long. I decide to start a short new series called Textured Fractals.

This series mixes in fractal elements. I struggled with the decision to put these into a separate Textured Fractals series. The fractal aspect here is incidental, very light-weight. The emphasis is strongly on the textures. Someone without above average experience with fractals may not even notice the fractal-ness here.

The underlaying fractal formulas are some of my personal creations. Obscure and absurd. A series called "Textured Fractals" should start with generally well-known and recognizable fractals.

A proper study of the topic, with well-known fractal formulas would be interesting. I am just not interested in digging deeper today. So for now, here are a few experiments that scratch the surface of the named topic. Of course the series could be extended in the future.

The first of two flat ones.

Here are a couple with broken pieces. This could become a separate series in the future.

Metallic coloring with a low iteration fractal. Also something I want to revisit someday.
