Friday Fractal LIII: Cream in my Coffee

I’ve never liked the taste of cream in my coffee, but I like to watch the way it swirls as you add it in. Such elegant forms appear when you add one liquid to another, especially when they are contrasting colors. It seems like the viscosity of the cream adds more complexity to the patterns than milk. Since the cream is poured in at a slightly different rate, or in a slightly different position each time, the patterns are always unique. Consistant in shape, but inevitably varied... you guessed it, I see fractals in my coffee.

Here’s a Julia set that has been modified with artificial symmetry (only one "side" is shown) and overlain with fBm plasma. Generally, you wouldn’t want things with names like that associated with your coffee, but when used in fractal parlance, it makes the perfect brew:
