This is absolutely unbelievable. There's this guy named Willard Wigen in Birmingham, England, who makes micro sculptures. He literally turns things as small as grains of sugar or dust particles into artwork. His work requires so much concentration and stillness that he has to first meditate to slow his heartbeat down so he can sculpt in between heartbeats since his movements need to be THAT precise. There's a few pics attached of his work that was taken from snopes.com where this article that I'm going to reference is found.

If I would have seen this on any other site, I would have instantly declared it a hoax. Can you believe it?!?
