Quasar

I used fractalius on this iris. The flower seems to be like a black hole...except that light is coming out of the center, instead of darkness. Hope you like it.

electric looking. I bet it would really pop if printed on metallic paper.

I've never printed on metallic paper. Do you buy it from Epson or another dealer and just load into my Epson printer??? Or, do you have to send it out for processing?

Another lovely result Lucy.

Up here metallic paper made by InkPress Media (www.inkpresspaper.com) is available in the camera stores, it comes in satin or gloss finishes and a variety of sizes. It is compatible for use in an Epson printer. ICC profiles are available from the InkPress website.

This is very well done Lucy with a mystical quality about it that draws the viewer in.
It takes me back to my hippie days, would look great on the wall under a black light next to my Lava Lamp . . .

This is wonderfully "swirly" and phosphorescent. Takes me back to the 60's.

Love all things 'astrophysical', so your theme clicks for me Lucy..
I like the 'electric' look as noted, very nice use of fractalius.
I'd say it looks rather like a beautiful quasar, as it evolves into a galaxy

Congrats on your WP!
