Welcome to my blog! It is named StarrBurst due to the fact that that is what my sister-in-law Carol calls me and I think it is appropriate to the nature of a blog. This is where I will burst forth with my musings and thoughts on interior design, inspiration, color, style and whatever else grabs me.
Now the design of this blog page is important to me as I have loaded a photo of a storm fractal as the header for this blog. For those of you who do not know what fractals are.....
A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." Wikipedia
Why do I love these things? Well, I think that it is important to study nature and the fact that when you break many natural things down to the smallest cells they still have similarity to the whole is a perfect perspective for design. When you break down a space to it's smallest element it should still reflect the owner or the one that inhabits the space.
Below is another one of my favorites...Fire....
No this whole blog will not be on fractals...just wanted you to see some things that intrigue me!
