Art in the Eye of a Needle →
meltinyourmouth:

His sculptures are so small that he even thought he may have accidently inhaled his Alice in Wonderland piece. His life’s work was sold to a collector for $20 million. Especially impressive was the Charlie Chaplin sculpture that was balanced on the tip...
