Hi, I just discovered how to hand draw fractals of ANY shape in existence. If you go to fantasticfractals and click on 'how to make a fractal' it show exactly how. Also you can go to fine art america and type in Jason Padgett (under 'find artist') and I have several hand drawn fractals that you can see. Have a great day. Jason Padgett

Your first sentence should probably be: "This *instructable* is about fractals."

BTW, the Koch curve is a good model for illustrating 'infinite length in a finite space'.
