Whenever we see something small, the first reaction that comes to us is “How cute!!!”. The feeling that something is cute is hard to explain in words, especially from a scientific point of view. But one thing is for sure that humans are obsessed with tiny things.
Don’t believe us? Then how do you think doll houses were invented? There was some genius who wanted to create small little houses for inanimate objects.

The artists create art that is so tiny that it can fit in the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin. To get precision, the artists create their own tools. From a fly’s hair to the artist’s own eyelashes – a paintbrush can be created from anything.
Tools used by Artists
Not just the tools but the art also takes a lot of effort to be built. In order to achieve precision, artists work during night when the world is at its quietest. Sometimes the artists enter into a meditative state to gain control over their heartbeat so that they can maintain a steady hand.
