Very cool technique! I've been trying to figure out how to do that. Everything else I've tried ate away at the original too much.

This looks great. And I'd really like to get it to work. I use Gimp, but there are several functions I can't seem to get to work, most notably the Add Noise function as you have described it. Is there any way to do this using Gimp?
Thanks in advance and grats on the award

Oh, didn't notice that before. Thanks!
Inspired by this (and I admit unable to get it to work in GIMP due to my limited knowledge), I stumbled upon a similar and even simpler approach that works ok for me:
Filter - Noise - Spread (50)
Filter - Blur - Gausian Blur (5)
Colours -Threshold
