I like it too! I don't drink much tea- or coffee... but I've always liked that! I think I like doing dishes for a similar reason. Can't stand the smell though! I like the tree pick too! Its funny to realize how much of the "creative" me is the "aspie" me... And how much I really like the ordered chaos of it all.

You're tea-film is wonderful.
It's beautiful. I love it. I've always thought putting milk in coffee (tea gives me a tummy ache) was wonderful to watch, too.
I understand the connection with Jupiter too. Jupiter has all those rolling clouds and storms and layers of different types and mixtures of gases eternally rolling around and mixing and settling.
haha! Just as I was typing this I linked it to my husband and he said, I kid you not, "It's beautiful! You know what it looks like? It looks just like the clouds of Jupiter!"
I've done the same, but with food coloring or paint. getting weird colors is fun.
Milk going in to tea is really pretty, food dye in water is also really cool. I have had alot of nose bleeds, blood is cool to watch as well.
Yes the clouds in the tea always fascinated me. Great video also the editing of that tree looks really cool. That gives me a few ideas.
Here's an other fractal like image... I took several photos of a tree, looking up at it from the ground. Then I photoshopped it to look like blood vessels.


What's interesting is how much it resembles the structure of a lung, which perfoms a similar function.
Liked your tea video. You've exposed me to an art form I had not thought about.
In the 70's I bought this capsule at a novelty shop that you drop into water. It was called "Cosmic dust" i think. I put it in a pretty shaped bottle. It moved similar to your tea clouds. It turned into a heavy thick purple liquid with sparkly metallic bits in it. You shook it and it made these wonderful slow rolling turbulent clouds of purple glittery liquid for a while. Wish I knew what it was. 30 years later I still have it but it doesn't work so well now.
3cl, nice ones!
silky,

Haven't heard about that Cosmic Dust... wonder if it's still available. Hmm...
Anything called "Cosmic Dust" sounds good to me.

The work of 1920's artist Maxfield Parrish might interest you. He created many scenes involving the sky, lightening bolts, and clouds.
I love it! I was laughing while I watched the two videos because I understand how many of us can be absolutely fascinated by something so simple, yet so complex. I thought, though, that the Neptune tea looked more like Earth toward the end of it.
