Texture Generation Tutorials

HI guys, I was thinking about textures today, and how I like to make everything from scratch, and it bothers me that I have to go use denim/grass/stone textures and hodgepodge 'em together to make my unwraps, so I figured I'd compile a list of generic texture creation workflows and throw 'em up here for your reading pleasure. Feel free to add any others you may recommend, and just to clarify, none of these were written by me...
