Brit artist creates world’s largest toast mosaic dedicated to mum-in-law
October 19th, 2010 - 5:29 pm ICT by ANILondon, Oct 19 (ANI): A British artist has gifted a unique present to her mother-in-law on her birthday - the world’s largest toast mosaic.
Laura Hadland, 27, used 600 loaves of bread - and 9,852 slices - to turn a photo of her mother in law into an art exhibit.
The museum curator spent six hours on the image on Sunday.
The mosaic was a surprise gift for her husband’s mother Sandra Whitfield for her 50th birthday.
Hadland was aided by 40 friends who used nine toasters to brown the slices of bread before arranging them into a 32ft 8in by 42ft image.
It was displayed at an arts venue at Whitfield’s hometown in Warrington, Cheshire.
“It’s a birthday card like no other,” the Telegraph quoted Hadland as saying.
Her mother-in-law said: “I love toast but it feels very strange seeing my face made out it. I’m really overwhelmed because they have gone to so much effort. It’s been the best birthday present ever.”
The toast mosaic was officially named the world’s largest at 5pm on October 17 at Warrington’s Parr Hall by Guinness World Records adjudicator Claire Burgess. (ANI)
