Description: This is a photograph of real flames and real colors (though I did kick up the saturation a notch, since I was using a short exposure). The colors are from simple home chemicals, with potassium (no-sodium salt) for violet, borax (laundry booster) for green, sodium for yellow (table salt), and strontium for red (from an emergency flare). Orange is from a mixture of strontium and sodium.
Description: No, this is not a photograph of a snowflake! It is a fractal snowflake made using an amazing computer program called Incendia. The fractal that is generated is three-dimensional. Wouldn't these snowflakes be amazing, rendered into 3-D for jewelry? I definitely need a 3-D printer. Until then, I hope you enjoy these two-dimensional creations :)
