Amazing Picture Made From Sprinkles

[Faline]

It may look like a photograph of a dog having a shower, but a closer look reveals this picture is actually made up of tiny ice cream sprinkles.
The 221,184 hundreds and thousands, normally used as a topping for ice creams or cupcakes, were painstakingly put in place by Canadian art student Joel Brochu.
It took him three months to create the work using jewellery tweezers to handle the sugary balls and stick them to double-sided tape.
He said: "It looks like an image of a beagle. It appears as a high-definition photograph measuring four inches by one and a half inches.
"I used just six colours – red, orange, green, blue, black, and white to create a myriad of hues."
Joel uses a customised computer programme to create a template for his works, which tells him where to place the sprinkles.
The level of detail in the pictures depends on the number of sprinkles used.
Joel added: "An image with fine detail, such as a panoramic landscape, looks best using a minimum of 275,000 sprinkles.
"An easily recognisable or close-up image, such as a human face, can be created with far less, 33,000 sprinkles for example.
"The flexibility of the medium and colour combinations ensures that any image can be recreated with sprinkles, like landscapes, great works of art, portraits, and even black and white photographs."
