does anyone remember...

[looobylooo]

a few years back on tv,
someone making the tiniest tinsiest minute hand crafted models, so small that they could only been seen using a magnifyling glass?
i think they were that small they sat in the eye of a needle, or something!

ive been trying to look for something about it on youtube but without any luck so far.

just wondered if anyone else remembered it, or am losing me marbles?!

[welshlibranr]

yes, I do remember seeing this!..........but can't remember where!..................sorry!

[mrs.chappie]

Nope, can't remember any of that. You've not been on the cooking sherry, have you, loooby? [:o)

i think the chap appeared on a few programmes didnt he, showing the things he'd made and everyone being in awe of them because they were so miniscule,
but i'll be damned if i can find anything on it all ... lol

[looobylooo]

There's a 'museum' of this stuff in Bath (or there was when I was last there) - mindblowing.
