Dryer Lint Last Supper Sells For $12,000 To Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum

A Michigan woman just made history. Her dryer lint Last Supper art piece just sold to Ripley's Believe It Or Not! for $12,000!

Laura Bell, a Midwestern bizarro-world version of Martha Stewart, took her fondness for domestic chores to a whole new level. Bell entered a competition for the Grand Rapids ArtPrize in 2010 that is making headlines across the Internet. After meticulously cleaning her drier’s lint trap after each load for months, she accumulated a bouquet of jewel-toned lint colors perfect for arts and crafts projects. Then, naturally, she used her lint to recreate Leonardo Da Vinci‘s famous Last Supper painting of Jesus and his hungry disciples.

Dryer Lint Last Supper Art Piece Sells For $12,000

Though she didn’t win the ArtPrize competition (those judges must be blind, I tell you!), Bell got the last laugh. The Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum bought her massive dryer lint Last Supper art piece for $12,000!

Not bad, lady. Not bad. The Ripley’s website has several pictures of the 14 ft x 4 ft dryer lint Last Supper masterpiece. I can’t say it’s as cool as Chewbacca’s Last Supper, but hey, to each his own.

NERD NOTE: The Last Supper is one of the world’s most famous paintings, but you won’t find it inside a museum. In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper on the dining hall wall inside the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
