I don't know if you thought of this, but your message came very close to 
an old idea of mine...an extension to the blob pattern that works like 
the crackle pattern, using the blob components instead of pseudo-random 
points. I'm not really sure what you're thinking of here, but it seems 
to be the other way around...a blob pattern generated on the fly the 
same way the crackle pattern chooses its points.
