IN THE EYE OF A NEEDLE
Voice of Russia
Sept 20 2011
A wide array of micro-miniatures by the world-renowned Armenian
artist Edward Ter-Kazarian are currently on display in Kaliningrad
in western Russia.
The founder of micro-miniature art, Maestro Ter-Kazarian, whose works
have won him a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records, has
created the world’s tiniest violin – an exact copy of a Stradivari
which you can still play on. Just a quarter of a millimeter long and
weighing a minuscule 0,003 of a gram, it features 56 parts made of
different woods and can be placed in the eye of a very small needle.
Over the years, Edward Ter-Kazarian has created more than 600 unique
micro miniatures but his highest achievement was to found a new trend
in this highly precise art of moving micro miniatures.
