“A sculptor has created what is believed to be the world’s smallest portrait of the Queen – on a 2mm coffee bean. The miniature masterpiece of the Queen’s head is so small it is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen using a magnifying glass. The amazing sculpture was made to mark Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. British micro-sculptor Willard Wigan created the commemorative tribute by slowing his heartbeat and working between beats to avoid hand tremors. He used tiny homemade tools and painted with a hair plucked from a housefly’s back to carve the microscopic figures.” w/ photo
