Who would have ever thought that a single needle would fetch a jaw breaking price of
up to $300,000. Willard Wigan is one of the few in the world that made it happen.
A closer look at the eye of the needle with a microscope revealed that this is not any ordinary needle. There's a
miniature sculpture of Snow White and the seven dwarfs, all fitted
inside the pin head and including a witch nearby. Without the microscope, it looks nothing more than a speck of dust wedged in the eye of the needle. This speck, though,
took more than three months to make it.
Other works by Wigan include a
miniature model of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker - fitted on a pin head - and
a model of The Last Supper, complete with 12 disciples. His
tiniest piece up to date is a Scottish terrier standing on the point of an acupuncture needle; while his next project is to create a Little Red Riding Hood so small she could be gobbled up not just by a wolf but by a flea.
Wigan's ultimate ambition as he told is that one day, he's going to do the Queen in her Coronation Coach with all the horses, too.
