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 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.

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.

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.

Two more to wrap up the series.

I created this near the time I was working on Experiment 2023.2 #14 and related pieces. There is potential here, I like the colors and the pixel size dots and lines are different. But at the time, I chose to explore a reduced palette and solid color blocks.

Bright diamonds. This idea has potential, but I never got back to it.

As often happens, there are a few stragglers that I want to post. I did not find a good place for them in the sequence up to now. So here are a few odds and ends to wrap up this series.

Today we have similar shapes to the previous, Experiment 2023.2 #29, with a rougher surface.

This is similar to the previous, Experiment 2023.2 #28. It has thin, fragile, black lines. Here the line follow curves rather than straight line segments,

Experiment 2023.2 #11 provided the inspiration for today's image. I added texture to a mess of distorted and broken lines and rectangles.

In the earlier image, each layer seemed transparent. As if you could look through each layer and the next was some distance away. Despite the texture, this one look flat. Still interesting, just two very different interpretations of broken lines.

The third variant, compare with Experiment 2023.2 #25, and Experiment 2023.2 #26.

I like the shapes and colors in the previous image Experiment 2023.2 #25. I made many variations, and could not pick one favorite. Here is the second of three.

This one returns to the smooth shapes, although the shapes are more convoluted then in the earlier images. I stole the colors from Experiment 2023.2 #19.

Here there are sharper edges on the shapes. Shadows enhance the shapes for an interesting 3d illusion.

Similar to the previous, with gold foreground.

Simple shapes, black foreground on white. The "white" part is actually many "almost white" colors.

This one adds texture to the earlier piece, Experiment 2023.2 #8.
