Now This Is Small,

the latest sculptor by Willard Wigan,



he has painstakingly crafted a minute sculpture of Olympian Tom Daley, to give you some idea of scale the base that the model is standing on is a human eyelash, Mr Wigan, 54, said: 'the idea came to me one day when I had an irritating eyelash in the corner of my eye and was trying to get it out but couldn't, I finally caught it and it was one of those very fine ones right in the corner, there is a lot of excitement about the Olympics coming up so I decided to make the smallest sculpture I've ever done for one of the biggest occasions we've ever had,'

I have mention the artists work on the blog before, it is just amazing how he can work to such a small scale.
