The Artist Who Shrunk Santa.
Birmingham artist Willard Wigan creates sculptures which fit inside the eye of a needle - with room to spare - and his latest work is of Santa Claus, sculpted out of carbon fibre, gold and nylon, and painted with an eyelash cut into a sixth of its normal width.
Willard has learning difficulties and can't read or write.
"Being a child I used to start making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. "I lived in a fantasy world and I thought they needed shoes and hats."
More of Willard Wigan's incredibly tiny and beautiful work HERE.
