A micro artist from Bournemouth has made the smallest Stonehenge sculpture in the world.
David A Lindon made a micro-sculpture of Stonehenge, with stones measuring just 0.1mm to 0.7mm tall - the same thickness of one human hair.
This microscopic-sized marvel is set on a gold pin that rotates 360 degrees with a flick of a switch, suspended inside a glass dome. It’s valued at £24,000 and it took David 3 months to make.
David said: “I love to push the boundaries of what is possible and I surprise myself with the level of detail and ingenuity that I am able to create under a microscope.

“Stonehenge took 1500 years to build, mine took just 3 months. The mysterious megaliths weigh up to 30 tons, mine is lighter than the smallest feather. No one knows how it was built, how I make my paintings and sculptures is a secret.”
David works at night for 6-10 hours at a time to avoid the vibrations of the daytime traffic. He enters a meditative state and is required to work between heartbeats.
The microscopic Stonehenge and the recently exhibited 'The World’s Smallest Zoo' are both creations of David’s, and both can now be seen at Hammond Galleries at The Mander Centre, Wolverhampton.
At the exhibition, you can learn about the British artist with a unique personal history and his engineering career.
