What looks like a low quality jpeg image contains a surprisingly high amount of nonpareils. 221,184 sprinkles to be exact.
Art student and Flickr user Joel Brochu glued hundreds and thousands of tiny candy sprinkles to a 4-inch by 1.5-inch board to create an image of a beagle getting a bath. He used jewellery tweezers to place the sprinkles of six different colours, and double-sided tape to ensure they stuck in place. Eight months later, and Brochu had a sweet recreation of a photo by Shingo Uchiyama.
Have a look at Brochu’s version of “be patient” beagle after the jump.

Incredible – but seems like a form of torture to me!
Yes it certainly does require a vast amount of patience. Speaking of time-consuming projects, have you seen Motoi Yamamoto’s intricate salt mazes – https://www.onelargeprawn.co.za/2011/02/07/intricate-salt-labyrinths/
