you've always wanted to know, isn't it.
The answer is nine.
Ten would be squashing them.
And how many prancing horses can you fit
on the head of a pin?
Only one actually.
The head of a pin is very small.
British sculptor William Wigan, a dyslexic who can now, at 55, barely read or write, is able to create some of the smallest sculptures in the world relying on nothing but his amazing talent, patience, a scalpel and a microscope.
He's able to fit nine camels inside the eye of a needle.
It takes an average of eight weeks for Mr Wigan to complete a sculpture.
It can take me eight weeks to thread a single piece of cotton in there.
When working he enters a meditative state which slows his heart rate allowing him to reduce any hand tremors and actually work his magic between heartbeats.
And then to paint his creation, he often uses a single hair from a dead housefly.
You need to know that too.

All I can say is WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why we label people 'dysexic' does it make us feel better when we put others who are different in a box?
We all have different gifts and talents and this man's are unique.
