for 's Apophysis Challenge 161. Sadly, this is the next to the last challenge in a very inspiring three-year run. If you want to get in on the fun before it's over, come and take a look! [link]

This week's challenge states:

Spiral

A very unused variation (at least in my opinion & experience) is the spiral variation. This week's challenge is to incorporate spiral into a beautiful fractal. Make it the star.


Minimum Transforms: 2

Maximum Transforms: 8

Allowed Variations: All

Required Variations: Spiral (Make it apparent spiral was used, don't just go with =0.002)



The rules for this week's challenge are very simple and straightforward. Enjoy the challenge!
