Tiny Sculptures

Willard Wiggan is a world-renowned 'micro sculptor'. His works are displayed on canvases such as the head of a pin, the tip of an eyelash or even a grain of sand.

He often uses eyelashes as a paintbrush.

Some of his tiny sculptures,
like this elephant,
are mounted on grains of sugar affixed to the head of a pin.

Look how tiny this ship is!

Willard says that he really enjoys working on art that is sometimes only 3 times bigger than a blood cell.

Amazing, isn't it?
