The suggester said: “The scale and the execution of this piece is unbelievable.” and I couldn't agree more. Micro hummingbird wood carving by ~Splitlipgypsy is actually carved from a TOOTHPICK o_O The stem of the flower is a hair and it's mounted on a pin. This is the most detailed miniature work I have ever seen, especially at this scale. Absolutely awe inspiring. Check out the artist's other miniature work too, you'll be amazed at how small they are.

That's amazing! But I'm sure I would break and/or lose it. Maybe simultaneously. :C
