#ScribesAndMakers Mar 21: What everyday object would you photograph as if it were art?

Milk poured into coffee. Galaxies forming in a cup.

(Yes, I'm aware of the etymological word-play there.)

I mean, come on. Tell me this doesn't look like an image from the Hubble image gallery.

@degroof yo…let’s talk about where you scored that glass/cup! this old svhool Tim Ferriss inspired?
@paulywill It's just a plain old borosilicate beaker that I use as a coffee mug. I designed a 3D-printed handle to make it easier to drink from.
@degroof @paulywill I have a beaker in my classroom with "WATER ONLY" written very clearly in sharpie so I don't mix it up with a different one.
@degroof @paulywill
What design software did you use?
@TTFKA_Tay0 @paulywill I used OpenSCAD. It's pretty much ideal for me, since I'm more of a coder than a designer.
@degroof @paulywill
Ditto. I'm a huge fan of OpenSCAD. Nice job.
@degroof Diffusion of milk in coffee or tea remains one of my favourite visual phenomena. Sometimes also tea in water: the trick is to dip the teabag slowly, so it doesn't get inflated with air and falls to the bottom, where it releases the tea at the bottom. After a couple of minutes, you need to pull the teabag up, and the beautiful diffusion begins.
@Krazov @degroof yeah I feel sad for folks who take their coffee black
@kinsale42 @degroof I have been taking my coffee black for years now, and I prefer the taste of black coffee. :P But, during winter, I brew caramel tea with milk, because it tastes like pudding that I remember from my time as a kiddo, and the diffusion is my favourite part.
@Krazov @degroof that works too 😊
@kinsale42 @degroof It ain't easy, being a black coffee lover.
@degroof Ooh, I'm glad you mentioned it or I would've missed it. That's fun.
