In addition to this we would like to throw down a challenge to all members to create something using the Outside Colouring Trap the Light Fantastic which can be found in tma.ucl.
This colouring by Toby Marshall has a great many parameters to play with but don't be put off by the complexity, exploring what's on offer is half the fun! Most parameters alter the trap shape but there is a comprehensive choice of texture parameters too so we would encourage you all to have a good look around and play with whatever parameter sections take your fancy. Some cool effects c

Yellow Rose of Friendship by TeaPhotography

SNMGems JudgmentPassing Judgment..
Wielding words
as punishment..
As though that shit
isn't redundant..
Flippant commentary
in abundance..
Ignorance so vast,
it has to be
measured by circumference..
Corrupt as all hell,
yet still triumphant..
How's that for
repugnant!
I'll remain reluctant..
Won't say I haven't done it,
but damn,
never for the fun of it!

LoveFastidious and concrete,
It cracks and it leaks..
It's strong and it's weak..
Every emotion; it bleeds.
It's own language; it speaks.
Devotion; it seeks.
Pain and dreams; it breathes.
Love is so much more than what it seems.. ObsessionOvercome by
Borderline compulsive
Sensations
Enthusiastic
Severity
Structuring
Inside-out
Onslaughts of
Neurosis
