Willard Wigan, a sculptor, creates incredibly tiny sculptures that can fit in the eye of a needle. He has made miniature versions of famous landmarks and people, using unconventional tools like diamond shards and eyelashes. Working at a microscopic level, he carefully crafts each piece between his heartbeats.
Despite challenges, Wigan has set two world records for the smallest sculptures made without machinery or nanotechnology. However, not all his creations go according to plan, as he once accidentally inhaled a sculpture of Alice in Wonderland.
