Do You Remember Spin Art?

I can remember as a kid, back in the dawn of time, going to the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ or maybe to a fair. There would be a booth that offered Spin Art. It was a little machine, like a turntable, that spun while you added paint. Being a kid, you would usually end up adding way too many colors, resulting in mud. But, hey, you had a lot of fun!

PicMonkey  inspired me to create a photo version, well sort of. It didn't spin, but it did pull the colors out in a fanning effect. Coupled with some other effects, and of course having a corgi as the main theme, it resulted in....(as always, click to enlarge for the best viewing)....


And the lower half still resulted in MUD!
