Contest 13: Put the beans in the jar
I read this week that there's a famous restaurant in London charging seven pounds for beans on toast. Bet they're still Heinz, though. Anyway, this week I'd like you to stick some beans in this jar. It's a little trickier than the original fish in a glass contest, since you'll have to make your own pile of beans from this one I've supplied (sorry to be so mean). You'll find the high res jar here, and the bean here. Both have clipping paths already.

Don't forget the tomato sauce!

You know its not so much the winning, its the taking part, and this is true, doing research on this to find some pics I might add, I type into Google and search through some images, I come accross this site - http://harvey.nu/beans_on_toast/

At the bottom, the bloke who put this together says -

"Perhaps I'd like to see your beans on toast pictures and/or hear your beans on toast stories, should you have any"

LOL, beans on toast stories, coming up!! The Internet is a weird, and sometimes scary place!

There are some strange people out there.

Come to think of it, there are some strange people in here, too.

"Well, Mum", said Jack. "You did say we didn't have a bean to our name!"

Re: Contest 13: Put the beans in the jar
that looks good, Maiden. Youve done a nice job of making the beans appear behind the rim of the jar.

I seem to have come over all poetic...
It must have been the beans.

I tried, and tried to get the whole tomato sauce thing to work, but it ended up looking like Scary Movie III, so alas...

Re: Contest 13: Put the beans in the jar
I've just remembered why it's beans. I started off with the jar, and couldn't think what to have coming out of it. The phrase 'spilling the beans' popped into my head, and I thought that would make a snappy title for this week's comp. When it came to writing it up, I remembered the beans but not the title. Weird.

Is it really a bean or a transformed egg?

Very cool Trinity the perspective of Steves head is a clever optical illusion, coz with the body at that position youd expect to see the top of the head, but the way you have done it, it really works!

ha ha ha ha ha most amusing, tweaknik.

No, of course it isn't a bean, or a transformed egg. I drew it in Photoshop, must have taken all of a minute.
