I never thought of laundry lint as anything other than a nuisance until I saw the Lint Last Supper. Laura Bell of Roscommon, Michigan recreated Da Vinci's [famous painting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-met-monet-bridge-over-a-pond-of-water) using nothing but laundry lint.

The Lint Last Supper measures an impressive 14 feet by 4 feet and required 700 to 800 hours of laundry to amass the lint needed. Ripley's Believe It or Not! recently purchased the "painting" and plans to display it alongside its [other oddities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-cleaning-exhibition).
