This is the world’s smallest snowman - at 10 micrometres across, it’s only 1/5th the width of a human hair. The tiny guy was made from two tin beads used to calibrate electron microscope astigmatism. The eyes and smile were milled using a focused ion beam, and the nose, which is under 1 µm wide (or 0.001 mm), is ion beam deposited platinum.

Jessica Drenk creates sculptures out of pencils. Each sculpture uses between 1,200 and 4,000 of them. After being glued together, the sculptures are sanded with a belt sander and other power tools, before being finished by hand.
