Pin Head - Willard Wigan Gives This Term A New Meaning

While checking out some of my regular blogs / news feeds over a cup of coffee today, I found on CNET’s news.com site—something unusual.  Usually it’s the same ole’ rambling about gadget crap—However, today was different.  They came upon the smallest micro sculptures in the world!  Intrigued, I started to research Willard Wigan, who in fact DOES make the smallest sculptures!  This man uses dust, human hair, and other odd materials to make fantastic sculptures in the eye of a needle (really!).  I was excited to see that he’s actually exhibiting down the street from my London flat!  So we ventured out, paid our £2 ($3.25) to see about 20 of these unusual things.  Visit his site for more information - [ Willard Wigan ]—and see where his next exhibit will be.  You won’t want to miss it… quite incredible.  (Thankfully they provide the microscopes to see his work… ).
