Picture Suggestions

Hypothetically, if you were commissioning a nine square metre bottle-top mosaic composed of 10,000 coloured bottle tops, what picture would you choose to copy?

A giant bottle top.

How about a giant image of the couple of dozen trade unionists murdered by Coca Cola done in tastefully colloured coke bottle tops? Or at the very least Macauly Culkin doing his Edvard Munch thing from Home ALone?

Probsbly something with a lot of red in it due to the abundance of coca-cola bottle caps. Maybe that scene from blade in the hall where the two bucket guys got to let it all loose

They're beer and spirit bottle tops.

ahhhh…. If I had to do it I'd probably pick something cubist, if someone I didn't like had to do it I'd think of something really hard like 'the scream'

Actually there are less coke tops than you might think. It's more a case of lots of Orange Schweppes and Green J20 tops. Lots of Magners, but curse them as they have bloomin' foil over them.

Images with blocks of colour work better than very, very detailed pictures as you need A LOT of tops in order get a hig enough resolution.

Someone suggested Edvard Munch's "The Scream". It doesn't really have much contrast in it, but here.. It's got 12,000 "tops" in it. Looky see -->

The immortal sence from Predator with the arm wrestling! Do that with bottle caps! Midnight black ones for Carl Weathers cos he's the Darkness, and then fake golden brown one's for Arnie! Perfect! In fact I think you should ignore any and all other suggestions and hop to it!
