I received an email about this man- Willard Wigan from England- and went looking for more info. When I googled his name, the Sopes website was at the top of the list, and it says it's all true- he sculpts tiny things inside the eye of darning needles and atop pin heads and attached to eyelash hairs etc.

Take a look here:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/microscopic.asp

(It downloads quickly- we're on dial-up here, so there's no need to worry about humongous pictures or painfully slow viewing times)

edited to add: here's his own website with more stuff http://www.willard-wigan.com/art.html

Wow that's amazing! And what does he charge a sq. ft?

If it wasn't confirmed on Snopes, I'd be reluctant to believe the sculptures were real.

Absolutely amazing.
