How do you take your coffee?

Ever heard of Hong Yi? No I didn't think so. Check out Her website here

She is an artist, illustrater, architect and photographer from Borneo. My favourite work of her's is the coffee art!
She says ''The portrait was done using coffee cup stains. Quite a tricky medium to use - too much water and the rings wouldn't form easily, very little water and you'd have to be precise with where you place the cup coz the rings would pretty much be permanent.''

She has also painted using a basketball for a brush, used sunflower seeds and chilli paste. Kooky.

I think her coffee art is pretty awesome. Even the photos of it in progress are great. It has a really calming, serene, whimsical (yes, whimsical) feel to it. Enjoy!




Love quirky art appreciating Philly!
