Bet you a cup of coffee that you won't be able to figure out how it was done.

3,604 cups of coffee were made into giant Mona Lisa painting in Sydney, Australia. The 3,604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different tones and shades.

Here's a link to a website with a video showing them "painting" with coffee cups.

I sooooo love the power of imagination!!! I thought my idea of creating a color pallete based on jelly beans and creating a mosaic design in gimp with the pallete and then gluing the jelly beans to a piece of foam core, was good. This is amazing!
