CSS Zen Garden is not an experiment as shown in the title of this post. The Garden shows how CSS can style the HTML elements in many different ways but it is not there to create or manipulate images as shown in the subject of this post.
That said, I have not looked at the Garden in many years so if you fine one, then you found .... one ... and I loop back to my original comment: that such things are impractical, it's not what CSS is for, and should be avoided.
