Micro-Sculptures Willard Wigan (born in 1957 in England) is the creator of the smallest works of art on Earth! His miniature sculptures include The Titanic on a pinhead, a cat on an eyelash and the six wives of Henry VIII in the eye of a needle. Some art a lot smaller than the full stop at the end of this sentence. Wigan started making tiny things when he was a child. People made him feel small because he had learning difficulties, so he decided to show them how significant small could be! How does he create his unbelievable micro-sculptures? He slows his breathing, then patiently sculpts or paints between heartbeats, so that his hand stays perfectly still. He spends months carving his tiny creations from materials such as toothpicks, sugar crystals and grains of rice and then paints them with a tiny hair such as an eyelash. So how do visitors to Willard Wigan's exhibitions view his work? Through a microscope, of course!
Nature gives us everything necessary for its existence. But, often we don't appreciate these gifts, without hesitation, plucked flowers and branches, without giving anything in return. We think that this is trivial, it will grow new ones. Turning around, it's hard not to notice how all the same beautiful nature. We just need to learn to appreciate her!
Природа дает человеку все необходимое для его существования. Но, часто мы не ценим эти дары, не задумываясь, срываем цветы и ветки на деревьях, не давая ничего взамен. Нам кажется, что это мелочь, ведь вырастут новые. Обернувшись по сторонам, сложно не заметить - как же все таки прекрасна природа. Нам нужно лишь научиться ценить её!
