Is there art that is smaller than artist Curtis Talwst Santiago's works? I would guess there is. These items come from popular mechanics HERE.
Trust by Hurwitz is the smallest artwork to be created by a human: it measures 80 x 100 x 20 microns (a micron is 0.00004 inches). Like Willard Wigan, Trust is also placed in the eye of a needle, or even on a single strand of hair. May 5, 2016
Mini Mailbox made of pencil graphite by Dalton Ghetti This Brazilian artist makes extraordinary work with surprisingly ordinary tools: A razor blade, a sewing needle and a sculpting knife. But don't except to duplicate Ghetti's skill overnight, ambitious DIYers. Some of his microscopic pieces required months or even years to finish. If you're keen to spend that much time squinting at a pencil, though, and you also possess unnaturally steady hands and an unlimited supply of Sanford no. 2's, you certainly could give it a try.
Lloyd's of London on the head of a pin by Williard Wigan This model of the Lloyd's of London building is actually smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Wigan carves his pieces under a microscope, using grains of sand as building material and fibers, spiderwebs and hairs as tools. However, because the tiniest of vibrations would destroy a sculpture, Wigan works in between his heartbeats while holding his breath—lest he accidentally inhale his own work.
The World's Smallest Guitar By Dustin Carr Carr, a doctoral student at Cornell University, built this guitar that is 10 micrometers long, with strings that measure 50 nanometers wide. (A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter; a nanometer is one-billionth.) The guitar could be played, but not heard. It is so small it emits a frequency inaudible to the human ear or any modern recording device.
This leaves us to find the tiniest Christmas tree so we can put these presents under it. And don't forget to include the world's smallest Christmas card at 15x20 micrometers.
Our pictures today show our contribution to small - the little miniatures on the wreaths made for the Fantasy of Trees. That's my smallest Christmas tree.
