Koohii stories:

1) [synewave] 17-11-2006(213): Bound up in the Rubik's cube are the 6 different colours.

2) [Haych] 22-11-2008(54): Ever look closely at mosaics? They contain a bunch of images bound up into a larger one. It seems amazing until you realize that the only quality of the smaller images that really matters is their colour.

3) [Dragg] 13-6-2008(39): A man and woman are BOUND UP in a colorful sex act. She bends over, legs tucked underneath, exposing her FULL MOON buttocks in order to be penetrated. *Heisigian liberties aside, this is what the kanji literally means. By reporting this story, you are reporting Japanese to be a naughty language in general.

4) [cangy] 23-2-2009(28): This kanji has a secondary meaning relating to sex (so stop reading now if you have issues) and originally showed a bending person (bound up) over another bending person (mosaic). This might help as an alternative to the mosaic primitive. (Say, doggy-style? Works ok for grasp (#1752 把) "grasp the love handles with your fingers during doggy-style", but I'm not sure about fertilizer (#1756 肥)…Oh, wait, how about "be careful with your flesh during doggy-style of you might fertilize her"? No? Oh well…).

5) [Radii] 2-4-2010(9): If you look into a kaleidoscope it's like a bound up mosaic of color.
