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!

Susan!
We are in Paris with my parents. We arrived here three days ago. It is raining here, but we stayed in a luxurious hotel, where I could swim in an open-air pool. The food was outstanding. I tasted the frog’s legs. It was amazing! Now we are going to visit the Louvre. I hope to see you soon.
Your Becky
ПЕРЕВОД: Сьюзан! Мы с родителями в Париже. Мы прибыли сюда три дня назад. Идет дождь, но мы остановились в шикарном отеле, где я могла плавать в открытом бассейне. Еда была выше всяких похвал. Я пробовала лягушачьи лапки. Это было потрясающе! Сейчас мы собираемся посетить Лувр. Надеюсь скоро увидеться. Твоя Бекки
