Need a refill??

So what is the strangest medium you could think someone would recreate the image of the Mona Lisa in?


She has been done in candy, and tools, but what might seem stranger yet??

Anything....


How about this?  


Did you guess what they used to make this image??
I will give an extra blog post to the first person to tell me what they used and how they made it look like different tints and shades.

    I think it took a lot of time to fill all of the cups. I think it look cool. It probably took a long time to find all the colors.

    I think they used paint to do this project. I am not for sure but i have seen something like that before. It is a very cool and interesting idea and would look cool to see it in person. It would be a cool thing for tri-valley to do. Maybe have it be a mustang or something.

    I have no idea what they used for the art thing. It does look really cool though. I like how they made it into the Mona Lisa. That would take forever and a lot of patience. That picture has swag written all over it.

    This would be so awesome if we could do stuff like this at Tri-Valley. Im not entirely sure if they used paint for this. It looks like a mixture of coffee creamers.

    This would be difficult for me to do, as I would trip over and/ or spill the coffee. It is really cool, though. I like there use of coffee and then tinting it with creamer.

    When I first looked at this type of artwork, my first choice for it to be made out of was coffee. Then to make the coffee look lighter they had to add more milk and creamer. To make it dark, they didn't add any creamer. This is a really interesting thing to do, but it would take an awfully long time to create.

    it is amazing that they can get the shades of coffe just right to make it look right. and it looks just like mona lisa. i wonder if they just use milk and creamer for the white parts?

    This was really creative way to remake the mona lisa. To use just coffee and creamer is pretty unique. I bet it was really expensive to do this though.

    Coffee! I especially love this piece! It goes to show that you can turn anything into beautiful art! It reminds me of one of the color scemes we are working on in art, picking one color and adding black or white to tint it!

    It looks like they used coffee to do this project. They used creamers to get the shades. If they wanted to make it lighter they would use more creamer and vice versa.

    This would take a lot of time. You would have to put the right amount of coffee and cream into the cup to get the right color. Then you have to find a pretty clear space, transfer the cups of coffee from one place to another, and try to make this without knocking any over!

    It looks to me like they used differnet cups of coffee. They added creamer to the ones the wanted litter. They just used regular coffee with no creamer in it to make the darker ones. This is really cool and creative

    i am pretty sure they used cups of coffee to make the picture. Then for the lighter shades they probably used creamer or milk. This is actually pretty cool to see. It would be hard to get the shading of the colors to be as good as they are to make it look realistic.

    I am sure they used coffee, must have used many different flavors to get the right shades and tints. The shop that sold them must've made a lot of money unless it was a homemade project then moved. How did they keep the rain from getting into it, there isn't any tarp above it and they can't get them all inside before it's too late.
