A few weeks ago, I posted a variation of an unfinished series called "Can of Tuna" on Shadowness here: shadowness.com/Leonie/can-of-t… and DsyneGrafix commented,"Pass the Bread, I'm Hungry! LOL", and yet another amusing idea was born!
Also inspired by Daeurth 's "Render Evolution Project!" fav.me/d4n1g9j Project, I decided to start the "Mandelbulb 3D Salad Sandwich Project"! Much too simple (and dull) to just do it myself, I thought making it a little community project could be entertaining for all!
A lot of us are attracted by the SF and mechanistic shapes found in some of the bulb formulas, however what about the organic shapes - which appear to us so widely in nature?
Often the shapes of fractals resemble buildings and clouds so why not MORE DELICIOUS FOOD!??! LOL!!!
Forget about counting calories and imagine your perfect sandwich, burger or wrap and all the scrumptious ingredients that could go into it! Then start fractalleering! Make it your best, pull out all the stops in which ever program you choose and let's see the tasty aromatic delights you come up with for our gourmand pleasure!
Some ideas I've already got in mind:
1. Salmon
2. Lettuces and other green vegetables
3. Tomatoes
4. Krapt Miracle Whip
5. Electric Can Opener (OK, not so organic!!! LOL!)
6. Red Onions
7. Whole Wheat Bread
8. Salt & Pepper
9. Sierpinski Salad
10. Olive Oil
11. Emmenthal Cheese
12. Basil
There might not quite be enough room for all of these ingredients unless they were chopped very finely! However, don't let my paltry imagination be your guide! LOL!
I'm sure you can think of scads of others! So what if they might not all fit in one sandwich! Hehe!
Check out just a few of my favourite organic fractals to get you thinking: (it's not just that they're green!)

And that's just for starters! And you and everyone else who'd like to is invited to join in on the taste tests!
(Ed. Note: I've just finished thanking all of these inadvertent contributors as of February 10, 2012 5:18pm Pacific Daylight Time! Dang dA keeps telling me I'm spammin'!!! SHEESH!)

I encourage you to post a link to your image in the comments here in this journal (not on my profile page though) and favourite the journal so it's easy to keep track of it. In the comments section of your deviation, please post a link to this feature.
How about making a series including your 3-5 (or more!) favourite items? Or perhaps several different types of salad? Or just one image with all the ingredients included? And why not make a special folder for them in your gallery?
As I note your linked images, I'll favourite them and collect them in a NEW folder "The Mandebulb Salad Sandwich" here: leoniezurakowsky.deviantart.co… .
I'll also feature the images I receive (and make!) in this journal as it goes on.
There's no deadline for this project cuz it's just for fun and info and I'm sure it will take me months to complete some of my basic ideas - so take your time and tell your friends and let's make the theme grow!
I welcome you to post your parameters and I'll post some of my own which you're welcome to tweak. I'd like this to be a learning project as well. (It's the teacher in me coming out again, ARG!!! LOL!)
Please include any tips that you think will help the rest of us improve our art.
Let's brush up our skills and if you'd like refer to my previous journals on Art and Mandelbulb3D Tutorials here: leoniezurakowsky.deviantart.co… and here: leoniezurakowsky.deviantart.co… and any others you may know of or would like to suggest and I'll add those to the tutorial journal feature.
As an added twist for those verbal (and verbose!) among us, include the words you use to think and talk about fractals, especially words you've coined yourself. Some of mine are: fractalesque, fracster, fractalline, fractalleering, fractallunking, fractallunker, fractalloading, fractalizing, fractalleen, fractallarking and fractalmeister to mention just a few!
Above all, have fun, see cool fractal foods and get your edible fractals viewed more!
Leonie
PS: I found this incredilble stamp by DrSp00ky and so I think I might be collecting stamps (and tiny thumbs and icons) now too! ARG!!! Any good ideas for them, please send them to me here also!
