Artist Willard Wigan creates micro-sculptures that fit in the eye of a needle

By 8:08 AM







Micro-sculptor Willard Wigan is launching a new exhibition. The British sculptor is known all around the world for his miniature sculptures that are invisible to the naked eye. Willard uses tiny homemade tools and paints with a hair plucked from a housefly's back and carves microscopic figures from grains of rice or sand or sugar. The sculptures, which often take months to complete, are then mounted on pin heads or needles.
Pictured is a miniature sculpture of the US President Barack Obama and his family.
