Jimi Hendrix mosaic by artist Ed Chapman.
This portrait was made from over 5000 guitar picks! It was recently
auctioned & sold for £23,000(about US$37,000), benefiting the UK Cancer Research.
Amazzzing...isn't it? Would love to do something like this when I grow up+older
and have more spare time on my hands! It beats quilting or crocheting or Bingo games!
Somehow I've been thinking about 'getting older' lately...perhaps because I am
literally getting older today! Yup~ everyday & every minute we all do get older, yes?
My thought for the day?! ~LOL*
What's yours today???

I think they do this with the help of computers and it isn't as hard as it seems anymore.
ReplyDeleteIn a hundred years we'll all be dead, so who cares about such a small detail as getting slightly older by the day :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing piece! I love how creative people are:) Wish you a great day, darling
ReplyDeleteKisses
Ps: I’m hosting a cool Loop GIVEAWAY today! Hope you’ll join in:)
I'm 61, Lenore Nevermore, and I still haven't decided what I wanna be when I grow up. Wonderful Wednesday to you, dear friend!

That is very cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful....are you getting old because it's your Birthday? I only age one day a year! If it is Happy Happy!
ReplyDeleteOMG...this is too awesome! My thought for the day: Live it up...life is too short! :)
ReplyDeleteLen♥reEverM♥re, an amazing piece of artwork, who could ever imagine the detail with guitar picks!
ReplyDeleteAll the work was worth it, that was a generous donation to cancer research.
Don't totally "grow up", keep some sense of silliness!
You have such a classy blog!

Happy birthday, dear friend Lenore! I apologize for being a day late with my birthday wishes but for some reason it just didn't sink in yesterday when I read your post. Forgive me! I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing piece of art!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about getting older too ... in the context of what I should really do with my life (I think a career change is going to occur very soon).
