Creating Patterns with photographs

Each detail in a photograph turns into something magical when special effects are applied to the image, and then arranged into patterns. The image bellow, for example, is the result of a portrait of a subject wearing a crown. The crown, hair, face, and jewlery are transformed into an image of something resembling gray matter, or whatever your imagination might make out of these.

Comment by Dawn Cooke on February 5, 2013 at 2:48pm: Very nice. Did you run your pics through a kalidoscope effect or just a pattern effect?

I have done this with many photos and the effect can be quite lovely.

The pic above was originally a moth then run through a Kalidoscope filter.
