Flowers aren't the only things that can thrive in a random creation. This morning we dyed our Easter eggs. Oh, heck no, I'm not hiding these things and letting them go to waste... we'll make deviled eggs out of them to enjoy. Still, the decorating process for these eggs is kind of... well, you get what you get. You can try for an effect, but, you don't always get what you thought you would. Still, more than likely, whatever you get can be attractive, or at least as artistic as that kind of thing gets.
Another crafty endeavor that can handle that random factor well is quilt-making. My grandmother got lots of random fabric cut into little triangles which she sewed together, and then were made into quilt tops by alternating them with stripes of solid fabric. The color of the stripes didn't really matter, but they kind of pulled the thing together, and it worked.
So, randomness can work well. I think it helps lend that organic kind of feel to a work, which I do appreciate.
