Make your own Jackson Pollock. Also, your own snowflake, your individual barcode, a weird vessel/flying disk, and flowers.

The first link is a double. The barcode link is, too. Not sure about the others.

Bliss! *So enjoyed that!* Thanks frobozz. Your snowflake and flowers links will become a new relaxing pastime, a good and more creative substitute for playing Solitaire. The weird vessel one seems to goad the player by saying, "Those of higher intelligence will be better at this than those of lower intelligence." In spite of that I enjoyed the flexible geometry of it. The Pollack one is good, I like the make your own Andy Warhol silkscreen online better. As for doubles, I'd doubly linked the barcode one myself. It has some neat links on that site, including one to way cool seashell mosaics, using little shells as pixels. jazon, omg, For your license plate link, cannot believe you linked to one of my all time favorite sites, evar, acme.com's Singing Science Records. There is something stupidly satisfying making a silly license plate. He links to a tombstone maker. Jef Poskanzer's site has been around a long time, it's very likeable.

The "weird vessel/flying disk" one is a few minutes' fun, too.

I used this to introduce my geomrety students to line generated fractals. Makes cool snowflakes if you stick a few together, like this. A real math teacher teaches wherever he can, even if it's unsolicited :)

Don't forget the ever-popular Make-a-flake as well (you cut up paper in this one). Thanks for posting this - my daughter (8 years old) really loves the flower one and the snowflake one at zefrank.
