A Brain Teaser from our Australian Members








This creative project came from Suzanne Wilder, a International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association Regional Membership Director in Australia.

I know this blog is labeled "Perks of Being a Food, Wine & Travel Writer. Well, the perk here is networking and making friends with other members worldwide. I can't measure how much the friendships made mean. Enjoy this thought providing puzzle as you keep going.


Think outside the box and see if you can figure out what was used to create this rendering of the Mona Lisa in Sydney.

I'm sorry to say, it took me until the end. My creativity needs a jump start again. Sometimes I ease up on stretching my thought process. Some creative measure like this helps me back on target.






























Artist assistants stand next to 3,604 cups of coffee which have been made into a giant Mona Lisa in Sydney, Australia. The 3, 604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different shades.



Thank you to our "down under" friends for providing us with a brain teaser.
