Oh snaps.

Welcome to the internets. Where most of you spend countless hours during the week. We get paid to sit in front of the computer and pretend to do work, but really, we're finding out what Lindsay Lohan had for breakfast and googling awkward pictures of cats. Here's a toast (a blog toast because drinking is NOT allowed during work...) to all of you 40 hours a week craftsmen. Because let's be honest, we are all craftsmen. Do you know how hard it is to quickly exit a facebook browser?

'The Last Supper' in Lint


You've seen it. I've seen it. But have we seen it recreated in lint? One Michigan woman, Laura Bell, has spent hundreds of hours doing laundry to recreate da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'...made entirely of LINT.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum currently has the updated masterpiece on display. But this isn't the ONLY recreation of the da Vinci classic. They have versions of it made out of burned toast and a grain of rice. Now, I've seen those booths on the Venice Beach boardwalk advertising "YOUR NAME ON A GRAIN OF RICE," but an entire painting? And how do they preserve the burned toast version?! Does it mold?

Either way, this one is made out of lint. I'm going to go ahead and give the homegirl props-this is some creativity mixed with a whole lot of dedication.
