Today I’m thinking about how I sometimes complain when pieces break or splinter.
I’ve been thinking about two museums I visited—one in Andorra and the other in Barcelona—that featured art made from rice.
I don’t know if you’re familiar with that kind of art—museums featuring exhibitions where you use magnifying glasses to view grains of rice that have been painted, pierced, embellished with added details, and so on.
You have to admit it takes real skill and patience to do this—I couldn’t do it, haha! I already struggle just picking up a single grain with my hand, let alone doing all that to it.
You might not have been familiar with this type of miniature art. If it appeals to you, I recommend visiting an exhibition—perhaps there’s one in your city, or one might come to your area someday. It’s well worth it; you’ll have a great time and be amazed.
This gives me the strength—hahaha—to complain less in my current thumbnails, hahaha.
I’m glad to hear that! If an exhibition on this topic ever comes to your city or somewhere nearby, I highly recommend checking it out—it’s fascinating!
@Sasa i had no idea these existed hun
Thanks for the information ! Thats anazing
All those tiny details on there oh that does take plenty of skill ! There fab !
That really puts things into perspective! Every time I think miniature pieces are tiny, I remember there are artists creating masterpieces on a single grain of rice. The patience, precision, and steady hands they must have are incredible. Thanks for sharing this—it definitely makes me appreciate our hobby even more, and maybe complain a little less when a tiny piece gives me trouble.
Hahaha, that’s exactly what I thought today! That’s why I wanted to share it—hahaha—so we can see that our “miniatures” aren’t actually all that miniature, hahaha.
I’ve seen posts about these before, but even now, I still wonder how on earth people create such beautiful works of art. They’re so tiny that they’re barely visible to the naked eye! You have to be really talented to build something like this.
