Renowned micro-sculptor, Willard Wigan, using home made tools and a hair from a housefly sculpted the head of the Queen on a 2 mm coffee bean. The sculpture took four weeks to complete with the artist using slower heartbeats and sculpting between heartbeats so there would be no tremor in his hand. The image can only be seen with a magnifying glass.

It was made to commemorate the Queens Diamond Jubilee.

One hell of an accomplishment !!

Not to take anything away from the artist, but class I would like to ask one question:

How many of you knew a common house fly had hair?

Those that knew the answer , please raise your hand.
