Artist's Comments

A pin based on the design of the Julia Set crop circle from 1996, near Stonehenge. The design is abstracted a bit, out of necessity to keep the design workable, wearable and small. Maybe one day I'll try a more accurate rendering (or of the triple Julia if I'm feeling insane).

I chose to use amber for this because it has beautiful color range and I love the earthliness of amber. The pin is also intentionally themed like The World card from my tarot deck, which is why I chose to photograph it on a green background.

It looks amazing, I like the use of the amber 'cause of the difference in colour of some of the balls. It's very beautiful.

nice ... I like this pin .. the warm colors of the amber are like little flames captured in a stone.

i've always wanted to do something
based on crop circle designs, and this
is such good inspiration.

absolutely stunning! This really is great. The warmth of the amber is beautiful and the design is really inspired. :)

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Very nice piece. I like how it is asymetrical. It has very unique feel. I can see this being worn to a formal party of some sort and being a center piece of attention. Very nice work. :+fav:

Wow! I love this piece. Very impressive re-creation of the Julia set.

It's magnificent. You really have got the mastery of stone-setting now. As for capturing the essence of a fractal in jewelry - you've done it! The color-variation of the amber cabs really adds liveliness and interest. Just a perfect piece.
