It’s a dog! It’s a photo! It’s … candy?
Art student Joel Brochu clearly has a lot of time on his hands.
Brochu created a startlingly life-like image of a beagle taking a bath made entirely out of ... sprinkles. Yes. The teeny-tiny candy sprinkles that most people put on cupcakes. And eat.
For 8 months, Brochu patiently placed 221,184 sprinkles in 6 colors to create the "photo." He started the project as an example of "pointillism," the technique of using tiny dots to create an image. Needless to say, Brochu got a little carried away with the candy.
