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!
Today i want to tell about my favorite traditional russian dish - pelmeni. It consists of dough and meat or fish mince. In appearance, pelmeni look like small boiled meat pies. Making pelmeni with the whole family is a good and kind tradition in Russia. But honestly, in modern time more and more often pelmeni are bought in a store. Many countries have similar dishes. For example China, Ukraine, Georgia, etc. I advise to taste this dish everyone who has never tasted this.

Сегодня я хочу рассказать о моем любимом национальном русском блюде - пельмени. Оно состоит из теста и мясного или рыбного фарша. По внешнему виду пельмени похожи на отваренные пирожки с мясом. Делать пельмени всей семьей - хорошая и добрая традиция в России. Но честно говоря в наше время все чаще пельмени покупают в магазине. Во многих странах есть подобные блюда. Например в Китае, Украине, Грузии и т.д. Я советую попробовать это блюдо всем, кто его еще никогда не попробовал.
