Students Recreate Van Gogh’s Starry Night with 8,000 Bottle Caps
0 comments Posted by eightq at 9:47 AMTwo students from the University of Virginia have created a pixelated replica of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” using around 8,000 colorful bottle caps.
I don’t know how they got their hands on so many bottle caps, but I’m sure Ross Thomas and Elizabeth Farrell made quite an impression on their teachers and colleagues when they unveiled this recycled version of Starry Night. Around 8,000 bottle caps were used to complete the 7′ by 9′ masterpiece, but although the number itself is pretty impressive, what I find most amazing is how they used the colors and logos of the caps in just the right places to create a beautiful artwork.
I don’t know what it is about Van Gogh’s masterpiece that bottle cap artists love so much, but I think it just might be the most bottle cap reproduced artwork in history. Take a look at some other versions of Starry Night, at the bottom.

We got a collection of bottle stoppers that should be a great conversation starter at your next party. These will keep the left-overs fresh when you can't make it to the bottom of a full bottle! Then again if you actually need these bottle stoppers, chances are that you aren't much of a drinker.
