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.
In a hundred years we'll all be dead, so who cares about such a small detail as getting slightly older by the day :-)
That is one amazing piece! I love how creative people are:) Wish you a great day, darling
Kisses
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!
this is BEYOND cool!!!
soooo cool. the concept of age and time is rather strange indeed.
Amazing art project - really love this idea!
Bathwater,
OUCH! ~I just hope the artist isn't reading your comment!
Shady,
Stay young at heart, yes sir!
while I continue to ponder today...
:)
That is very cool.
It's beautiful....are you getting old because it's your Birthday? I only age one day a year! If it is Happy Happy!
OMG...this is too awesome! My thought for the day: Live it up...life is too short! :)
Len♥reEverM♥re, an amazing piece of artwork, who could ever imagine the detail with guitar picks!
All 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!
Whoa. Guitar picks?! Very impressive.
Seriously one of the coolest pieces I have ever seen! Love it!!
Just coool!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Of course with my addled brain that gets older everyday I can't keep up with everything.
:)

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!
That's an amazing piece of art!
I'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).
