Here is one idea from the page:
Happy String Drop, in the style of Duchamps
pieces of yarn or string about 6"-12" in length
dishes of tempera paint
covered work area
large sheet of paper taped to the floor
tweezers, optional
Steps:
1.Cut pieces of string or yarn into any variety of lengths, not
exceeding 12".
2.Fill a shallow dish or container with tempera paint, one container
for each color.
3.Drape a string into each dish, leaving the end hanging over the
edge of the dish as a finger-hold. The rest of the string should be
covered and soaking in point.
4.Place a large sheet of paper on the floor. Tape the corners so the
paper stays in place.
5.Pull a strand of string from one of the dishes, wringing out some
of the paint against the lip of the dish while pulling.
6.Stand on the floor with the string dangling above the paper on the
floor and drop the string, allowing the string to loop or curve
naturally in any design as it lands on the paper. For an extra
bright design, pat the string with a hand or a paintbrush to force
more paint from the string onto the paper.
7.Remove the string with tweezers or fingers. Replace the string in
the dish of paint.
8.Continue dropping pieces of apint-soaked string in any variety of
colors on the paper, making natural designs. When satisfied with
the complete design, remove the paper to a drying area. Dry for
several hours.
