sticky-note mona lisa
Shay Hovell, from Ottumwa Iowa, recreated the Mona Lisa entirely out of post-it notes for an online contest.
“I put it together on individual poster board sheets and then what you’re seeing behind me is all of those poster board sheets put together,” Hovell said.
If you’re wondering just how many sticky notes it takes to create a nine foot by nine foot portrait, it’s 12,000.
He used seven different colors of notes and a black marker for his picture.
“It took about 40 hours. I’d usually as I woke up in the morning as I was having my coffee would work on it then,” Hovell said.
