Wow. I'm impressed at the idea AND that you had time in the schedule to let the mold grow. I did something similar once in college, but it involved forgetting about a slice of pizza over winter break—not quite as carefully controlled and artistic as this.

Thanks Andrew -- ha, yeah, about halfway through this project I had serious concerns about by own health... See those tiny red spots? I'm guessing bubonic plague, or maybe dengue fever. Great meeting you over the weekend!

There were numerous places in my son's bedroom and bathroom I could have gotten you a photo of this stuff and saved you some time, LOL. Great cover.
