Laundry Lint Artwork Of Biblical Proportions


Michigan artist Laura Bell is a little fuzzy about the details of her portrait - The Last Supper. That's because she used fluffy dryer lint as the medium for her take on this famous work of art. The massive masterpiece measures 14 feet long by 4 feet tall and has been acquired by Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Laura Bell says she spent seven months saving the lint from her own dryer, but the problem was it was usually the same color. She tried laundromat lint, but it was always shades of gray and full of dog hair. She ended up buying towels in the colors that she wanted to use in the portrait and washed and dried them separately to get lint with just the right tint.
