The
incredible illusion is the work of body painter Anke Catesby, from
Brisbane, Australia, who spent three hours painstakingly turning model
Tara Mills into the musical instrument.
The
amateur artist felt inspired to morph her friends into her cello
creation after noticing the striking similarities between the instrument
and a woman's body while looking at black and white photos.
And
with a flick of a paintbrush, the stunning result uses the curves of
Tara's back to create the shape of the instrument while Jo Sparrow's
hands are seen 'playing' the instrument.
