Elephant Weed

There is something about natural forms when they age, shrivel and die, they leave unusual sculptural remnants that easily provoke the imagination to 'see things'. This is an old photo that I always meant to try and illustrate what I saw in this dried thistle and now years later I am thrilled to be able to prompt an algorithm to really bring out so realistically, what I always imagined! We live in a magical, awesome Renaissance age of creative possibilities.
