I just noticed that coffeeish water dried on a white ceramic plate sitting at the bottom of my very slightly tilted sink. I wonder if this could be exploited to create coffee drying pictures or even 3d structures?

Very cool. All of these images. [link] were painted with coffee so 2d for sure. 3d might take a long time. (+)

I may not have been clear about this but I was thinking of a system that would control the tilt of the plate and the air above the slowly drying coffee/water as it dried to create a picture. instead of micro placing each atom this would be a way of using fluid dynamics to place great numbers of atoms.

I'm confused [JesusHChrist], I thought people see pictures of you all the time in their coffee stains? And grilled cheese sandwiches. And just about every other medium, however unlikely.
