I came across this slideshow on Yahoo.com today, and i really like the art involved. The artist (Jacqueline Lou Skaggs) was an avid collector of pennies throughout her life. She then decided to use the pennies as her canvas, and painted beautiful images onto the pennies. She initially wanted to then spend the pennies to put them back into circulation, but ended up being to attached to the artwork to let them go. I think they are phenomenal, and the amount of attention to detail that they require is immense. Take a look through the slideshow and see for yourself. I especially like the one with the bowl with what i interpret to be bread rolls inside, it almost looks 3D!
