Do you want to build an artwork? Tiny Frozen sculptures from Wolverhampton artist

Willard Wigan's creations, which fit into the eye of a needle, are currently on display at an exhibition in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The 58-year-old, who was born in Wednesfield and has an MBE, has also sculpted the world's smallest hand-made Christmas tree.

He made the tiny objects from fragments of a CD under a microscope at his home studio.

Willard completed the tree last week, after it had been an 'on and off' project over the last few months.

The artist made the work as a symbol of 'love, peace and goodwill' this Christmas at a time of hardship and instability across the world for many people.

He said: "I made the sculpture to say Merry Christmas in the smallest yet biggest possible way.

"With all the trouble happening in the world, I just wanted to make something that was a symbol of love, peace and goodwill. Little things can mean a lot, and the best things can come in small packages."

The Christmas tree itself is made from tiny slices of green nylon and the bulbs are made from CD fragments.

The idea for the tree first came about during a conversation with his photographer Nick Parsons.

Willard said: "Nick said to me, you need to make a Christmas tree.

"And during that conversation he trod on a CD. All the bits of shimmering pieces fell off the CD and I said, 'there is my Christmas tree'. It was almost like a message telling me to make it."

The process can often take more than a month, and even the tools he uses have to be made under a microscope.

Both the Christmas tree and Frozen characters will be featured at his upcoming exhibition in March at the Light House Media Centre in Wolverhampton.
