jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Ladies, if you get the chance, don't miss this. Willard is a resident of Birmingham, England. The show is in Manchester. He has a learning disability (Dyslexia), but has talented hands. He makes the sculptures out of dust particles, sugar crystals, etc. Works only around midnight, and can only do some of the work between heartbeats. Just scroll down thru it all. Simply amazing! He even has Elvis on the head of a pin! http://willard-wigan.com/art.html _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Lola Member Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3703 Loc: London UK	I think he did one of Mike Tyson on a matchstick a few years back which was bought for £30,000 Thanks for the link, JJ. I did not know that an exhibition of his works was even on at Harvey Nicks until you brought it up. Must go and see it. _________________________ <><

He must work under a magnifier. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	He does. I read some of the article about him. A friend sent this to me. I wish I known about him when I was in England. Sigh...isn't it amazing the talent God gives to some people? And such an unusual talent. I can't even SEE the eye of a needle, much less create ART inside it! Wow!

49erDonna Member Registered: 06/24/06 Posts: 384 Loc: California	Wow... just incredible! I passed the website on to a friend who's daughter is a principal. I think it would be good for kids with disabilities to see that you can excel in other areas. What a great source of inspiration for kids! Donna

TVC15 Member Registered: 09/03/04 Posts: 2538 Loc: North Carolina	Very cool! It's amazing what some people can do, let alone come up with. I mean, how do you just decide one day to try to do something like that. _________________________ Where I've been lately

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Isn't that the truth? It's all I can do to decide whether to let Trixie out first to P in the mornings, or fix my coffee...must less CREATE something. God-given and driven talent. Has to be!
