Portrait Hair Weave (6 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       3 Nov 2010       7159

This is a hair weave work by Chinese Zhang Dexuan, 66. He’s weaving portraits on hair, a technique invented by his grandmother. Zhang learned the skill in 2 years and accomplished his first portrait before he turned 30. He normally makes miniature portraits, working with magnifier.

The only sad thing about it is as he doesn’t have a descendant to transmit the skill now, it may be lost in future..

Broom Closet That Costs £200,000 (7 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       17 Mar 2010       12564

 

Ray Barker’s home is a converted broom closet which measures 11’ X 5.5’. It was originally bought by a secretary for £37,000 in 1987. However, location is everything, and since it is located opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge, the miniature home has been valued at £200,000. Four years ago, Mr. Barker bought the small apartment for £120,000.  He says that he can do the cleaning while lying in his sofa bed. In fact, he says that he can wash up, answer the door, make a cup of coffee, and use the restroom all at the same time. The space’s two rooms measures 60.5 ft.2 and has a toilet, a shower which doubles up as a wardrobe, and six-inch deep cupboards. The space is just fine for sleeping, has a space to hang his jacket and keep his shampoo.

The postal service depicted in these photos may very well be the smallest ever. With everything in miniature, I wonder if they collect for their services with miniature money?

Honestly, at first I thought that they already started to produce miniature PSPs and that it would be impossible to play on such a little game console, but it is not like it looks like.

When the world becomes disproportionate (53 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       28 Aug 2009       17355
Another good series of photo manipulation. This time, the idea was to make people, things or places look gigantic or miniature in comparison to the other elements in a photo, the whole process with exaggeration of course.
Some are really original and well found! Just take a look…
