For the Love of Spirals

Spirals are fascinating - here I am experimenting with logarithmic spirals.

Many different parameters can be varied, like spiral size, spiral slope, random mixes, space dependence of parameters, strict/non-strict overlaps, resulting in many different variations (see comments when clicking on images). Also an opportunity to play with my new AxiDraw.
