    Fractals are beautiful! I used to have a Fractal maker which you would set to run and it would just go on forever zooming in more and more. I loved it!

    Well! I've just learned something! I didn't know what fractals were, so I've just been googling some! And just realised that all my triangle doodling was making fractals!

    Haven't explored the maths behind it yet, but I've always loved what I now know to be fractals in nature, like leaf and petal patterns.

    Thanks for that, Elsien! :)

    Talking of drawing spirals, did anyone used to have a spirograph thingy? Can't remember the exact name but it had cogs that you used to be able to use to make pretty spiral patterns, i used to spend hours doing that as a kid :)

    Spirographs were my favourite toy, I used to play with them for hours. Now I want another...

    I think I know what my next treat will be! They would keep me amused for hours, I had pages and pages of pretty circular patterns,
