Artist Connects 6,239 Dots, Draws Mona Lisa

Thomas Pavitte decided to create his own 6,239-dot puzzle. As you’d imagine, something of that magnitude should result in something other than a rocketship, an apple, or a telephone. In fact, Mr. Pavitte ended up connecting all the dots and creating his own version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa!!!

The project took him nine hours to complete drawing, but that doesn’t include however much time it took him to actually plot out the dots and number them in the first place.

Due to the sheer number of dots, he also color-coded them, switching the hue every 400 dots in order to keep from being distracted by literally thousands of other potential vertices.

The whole drawing is essentially one continuous string of segments, though, and their result is pretty clearly the Mona Lisa.

Domino Clock

The Domino Clock by Carbon Design Group takes a simple and iconic object and transforms it into a new way to tell time. The concept is simple. Three larger-than-life dominoes are equipped with articulating "dots” that flip back-and-forth between black and white to keep time. They hang on the wall or stand free.

Connect The Dots

New york city based designer Edith Levin created this collection of dinnerware featuring a connect the dots motif. The series of pieces were created based on the theme of childhood. Each piece features a connect the dots puzzle in the shape of a common food such as corn, carrots or asparagus. The cup and standard dinner plate feature a puzzle of themselves created as an outline of the dish. The playful series brings some humor to the dinner table with a touch of nostalgia.
