Absurd Latte Art update

Just a quick round up of the stuff people have submitted in my call for milk based nonsense:

Tim Styles (Tropical Saloon):

latte art in a saucer

Perrys Karavas (Flickr page):

latte art in a ladel

Grendel (Cafe Grendel):


Conrad (Flickr page):

latte art in a gravy boat

And of course there is Anette, Stephen, Jenny and I and our art in hands:

All of this is great, but I want more! MORE!

So please, if you can, find an odd vessel and pour some art in it and leave me a link or message in the comments.

(I am still gutted our plan to pour something through Arthur’s ears in Tokyo never came off - Arthur, if you are reading this then you have to get someone to do it!)

(If I have missed anyone out let me know!)

    the saucer is my absolute favorite thus far, i also liked the one you did in a blind basket. Try doing one in a japanese soup spoon .. that would be fun (http://www.dietsindex.com/gfx/geographicallocation/chinese-spoon.jpg), very much appropriate dont u think?

    Decided to take up your challenge, heres some not so far out attempts.
    Had some other ideas, although most of them would result in unusable items after being filled with espresso and milk.

    [sorry for editing your comment - I just really wanted people to see this picture! Jim]

    I know this has no latte art on it but I thought I’d add it anyway because it is definatly absurd.

    Great minds think alike ah, sorry Mentness I hadn’t seen your stovetop pour before pouring into the first thing I found on my benchtop.

  12. mentness/stuartlee Says:
