Mouse what..?

To promote a product I'm currently working on, a large number of mouse mats have been given away. The mouse mats are made of some transparent plastic and are filled with a blue liquid. If you move your mouse over the surface, the blue liquid moves too...

The properties of the liquid used create all kinds of nice effects with dark and lighter blue colours.

unfortunately is this face somewhat less spectaculair than the (in)famous Jesus on a piece of toast...

[ so I won't put it up for auction on eBay... ]
