Mandelbrot Fractal Driftwood

While playing with my version of Virtox's Julia Vase technique I stumbled upon some amazingly chaotic variations. Empowered with an utter ignorance of the math involved I modeled a perturbation of the power factor of a Mandelbrot set. The result is so different from the Julia Vases that it is hard to believe they were generated the same way.

I printed it, but with all the overhangs and gorgeous fragile fine details, the print doesn't really do it justice.
