For those of you who want to get hooked like crack join in the fun, I've written How To Make a Sheep and posted it on the Electric Sheep wiki.
I generally name my sheep.  There's no real reason for it, other than I enjoy it, and it's much easier to remember which sheep is Rose
 than which one is old1986xApo93175-1-12-3
, which is something of the naming system I use internally, to keep track of how a particular sheep was made.

			Spun Glass  
			When this one was rendered, I missed downloading it.  For a year or so I just didn't have a copy of the sheep. Then, out of the blue sky, someone emailed me and said Here's your missing sheep.   Isn't the internet cool?  Not to mention people that take the time and trouble to email someone over a lost sheep.

			Elder Footprints  
			Look in the lower left corner.  See the thing that looks kind of like a bear's footprint, except with far too many toes?  This is the basic unit of this fractal, repeated in many dimensions.

			Lightning Prism  
			Electric blue usually means a medium-tone, slightly greenish-blue.  Real electric arcs, though, are almost white.  I've seen lightning about this color, but without the rainbows.  A prism would do the rest.

			Christmas Through Glass  
			You can read many layers into this title.  When I was young I liked catching the refraction of the lights of the Christmas tree through the glass ornaments.  Alternatively, imagine what the department store window Christmas displays look like to someone who sleeps on the street.

			Einstein's Celestial Oragami  
			Here, the layers visible in the other siblings fold in on themselves, and the patterns pressed two-dimensionally upon them orbit around one another like galaxies meeting in the eons.  Only faster.  Oddly, this one has reproduced more than any other of my sheep, despite having a peak rating of only 12.

			Twilight Behind the Day  
			This one emphasizes the layers  of these fractal siblings.  The front layers are colored with a rainbow palette shifted towards yellows, the back layers are a rainbow shifted to blue.

			Dinosaur Feathers  
			There is evidence that the relatives of the Tyrannosaurs were the ones that eventually evolved into birds.  Tyrannosaurs probably did not have many feathers as adults (compare to the giants among today's mammals:  hippos, rhinos, etc., which have also lost their hair) but that the babies may well have been covered in down, and certainly many of the relatives of the Tyrannosaurids did.  It makes my image of the Cretaceous a much more entertaining place.

			Agate Dreams  
			Agate is a semi-precious stone that comes in all sorts of colors, including swirls of rusty brown and white.  Of course, the pattern is never this regular, and so this would be a sort of idealized agate.  Perhaps it is what agate would dream of being, when it imagined a perfect form.

			Lion Dormant  
			Heraldry is full of special terminology.  In this case, a lion dormant  is the name for a lion laying down, one of the rarer ways to see a heraldic lion.

			Drawing Dragons  
			It is at least partially coincidental that this image uses the same color palette as the other Dragon  fractals.  The name comes from the kind of triangular shapes in the lower left, which look like a row of dragon heads, being drawn into the center of the vortex.

			Will'o The Wisp  
			A corruption of Will with the wisp,  a wisp being a torch made of a bundle of hay or straw.  The English name for a phenomenon reported in nearly every culture in the world:  the Kitsunebi in Asia, Gandaspati in Indonesia, Min-min for the Australian aborigines, Dwaallicht in Dutch, Luz Mala in South America.  Generally they lead people into swampy or boggy areas, although sometimes they are reported to lead unwary travellers to other hazardous destinations.  The first edge transitions to the next fractal, Anthemion .

			Alien Bones  
			H.P. Lovecraft was one of the first authors to really envision aliens as truly alien, with a form, time scale, an interests completely different from our own.  The second question, after, Will we ever find alien life?  ought to be Would we know it if we saw it?
