If you do not have MathMap, get it.
Filters>Generic>Mathmap>Droste - wait patiently for render - have cup of coffee
new layer black and run super nova exactly center with color spikes

set black layer to hue mode.

Just the star after in-betweener , before Mathmap Droste, and with the colored nova layer added.

Rod, nice work but I actually prefer just the star on its own.

rod: wow. that looks sooo good! and it must have taken forever to render it.

Thank you Anmal.
It only took about 12 minutes just in Droste alone.
The entire image took about an hour to create.


Thanks he4rty. You really have to appreciate the complexity of Droste to like the outcome of the filter.

I love the pentagram star. Looks almost like origami.
