## What it is

Silk is an interactive generative art tool made by Yuri Vishnevsky. By dragging the mouse, you blend colors and draw symmetrical forms, with mirroring, a spiral option and a soundtrack.

## What it’s for

For making symmetrical generative images in the browser and saving the result.

## Benefits

- Drawing with mirror symmetry and a spiral toward the center
- Sound crafted by Mat Jarvis
- Fullscreen, undo and redo, and an option to save the image

## Caveats

- The page says art shared through Silk is licensed under Creative Commons.
- According to external sources, the web version is free and there is a paid iOS app; the page doesn't mention pricing.
