There is always a certain charm and magic in miniatures and microminiatures, especially when this tiny world is surprisingly real and looks like a living one. Artists who create miniature wonders look at life on a very different scale than the rest of us, and their work often requires patience, hard work, concentration and a steady hand. After all, masters create such sculptures that can fit in the eye of a needle or on the head of a nail, they can draw pictures on a human hair that you can never see without a microscope.

Microminiatures by Willard Wigan

Looking at sculptures by Willard Wigan, you always wonder how a person can create such complex, detailed and delicate works of art that fit in the eye of a needle or on the head of a carnation? The works of the English master of microminiatures are so tiny that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, but only with the help of a microscope. When Willard paints his sculptures, he feels that his heart rate is slowing down, the artist is in such an exciting and tense state. Most often it works at night, when there is less noise and interference.

Miniature bottle cap furniture

New Year's Eve Design Within Reach invited all participants to create miniature chairs or armchairs using nothing more than foil, wire, stickers and cork from no more than two bottles of champagne. The result is an amazingly beautiful collection of miniature furniture that can fit in the palm of your hand.

Street project "Little People"

Would you notice the tiny figures of people on the street if you happened to walk past them? Perhaps not, because, no matter how it occurred to you, that small people can hide under a leaf that has fallen to the ground, or that the whole family can ride on the shell of a snail. A street artist calling himself Slinkachu has placed handmade miniature figurines all over London, photographed them and left them there to be watched or ignored by pedestrians passing by. The Little People project raises the theme of the loneliness and isolation that city dwellers often feel, despite the fact that they are surrounded by a huge number of people all the time.

Miniature paper buildings
