Laura Hadland, just weeks after creating a “toast” mosaic from over 9000 pieces of toast has moved on to her next project, an Avatar mosaic that uses 4000 Blu-ray discs.
Hadland says 20th Century Fox commercially printed her the discs (in the colors she needed) and from there the mosaic was completed within a few hours.
The mosaic was a gift to her husband, who was a big fan of the movie.
It was put together on the floor of the London Film Museum.
Avatar is the top selling movie of all time, making $2.8 billion worldwide. Sequels are slated for 2013 and later.

Barnes & Noble has introduced the new Nook Color e-reader this week, hoping to gain an advantage over the rival Amazon Kindle in the quickly growing e-reader market.
The Nook Color will use an IPS LCD screen, the same type of display used by the Apple iPad.
Barnes & Noble’s new Nook Color will be 7-inches, run Android 2.1, and have eight-hour battery life per charge. Current Nooks and Kindles (using e-ink displays) have battery lives as long as two weeks per charge.
The display will have 1024×600 resolution with 16 million colors.
Additionally, the device has Wi-Fi (but lacks 3G), 8GB of internal storage and a microSD slot.
The Nook Color will also launch with deals with magazine publishers, a strong advantage over black-and-white e-readers.
Available at Best Buy, Wal-Mart and online starting November 19th, the e-reader will cost $250.

Sharp concluded their CES 2010 announcements today introducing QuadPixel technology.
QuadPixel, which will be added to new Aquos LCD panels, adds a “Y” pixel to RGB pixels, giving TVs the capability to display over 1 trillion colors. Current LCDs can render one to two billion colors.
The HDTVs will not be cheap however, with the LE 920 Series starting at $3300 for the 52-inch model.
