And you completely took away our saying we are green with envy...

These look great and are much more detailed with respect to the head 
shape than what I did with the ghost image. As to your last statement 
about warp { turbulence }, remember Jamie's trick to scale turbulence 
with respect to an object/pattern. It is a trick I used in the ghost 
image. Namely:

www.ignorancia.org.

#macro WarpShapesA_2 ()
     scale 1.0/0.9000
     warp {
         turbulence 0.1500
         octaves    6
         lambda     2.0000
         omega      0.6500
     }
     scale 0.9
#end

So to have a lot of scaled down, but heavier, turbulence, you first 
scale the "thing" up, apply the turbulence warp, then scale everything 
back to the original size.
