kinda gross

[PositiveJeffBrown]

Yeah, it was actually kinda gross, but that's DNA for ya, I suppose.

[Schmoikel]

Very cool! Wouldn't Mendel have been a more appropriate subject? ;-)

[PositiveJeffBrown]

Thanks! Yes, Mendel would have been appropriate, but I wanted to do Darwin, so I thought DNA was the best medium for his portrait.

[Schmoikel]

Care to post what exactly you did? Ingredients and what not? Could be cool to do in my Bio class.

[PositiveJeffBrown]

There's a link to the site I found with all the specific info on my webpage.

If it was done with Pea DNA, wouldn't it make more sense to make a protrait of Mendel?

[CleanFreeMedia]

Oh wow, how many bags of pea did you use?

Check out my flying portrait of Darwin .I'll paint it in the next few days -"Darwin 200 Portraits of Evolution Take Flight pt 1 "

Part 2 shows test flight .

I liked it it was crazy and creative . Another fun portrait idea would be to use dried dead beetles glued as mosaics .Darwin loved to collect beetles .
