The latest work by micro-sculpture artist Willard Wigan, showing Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton in an eye of a needle. The work is on display at Castle Gallery at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham. Wigan, an artist celebrated for his tiny creations, fashioned the piece, which can only be viewed through a microscope, from synthetic fibre and painted it using a single eyelash.
