Willard Wigan's Marvelous Micro-Sculptures

Here is an immensely gifted artist, who creates micro-sculptures that fit inside of the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin. Images of the sculptures can be purchased at the website this link points to:
Willard Wigan's art

Click on the tab "The Art of Willard Wigan" to get to a set of 12 thumbnails; on the tab "Signed Limited Edition Prints" to view 20. Clicking on a thumbnail brings up a larger image. The subjects Wigan depicts are quite diverse, and each sculpture is incredibly detailed and beautiful. Some are also wonderfully entertaining.

But if a 10 or 25 or 375 euro price tag is outside one's budget, clicking on the thumbnails allows one to enjoy them on-line, while daydreaming of owning one or two of the images.
