The tap-tap-tap sound of the mallet against the wood and the aroma of the wood itself gave Mike Medow the euphoric high necessary to create his whimsical masterpieces.
Medow has spent over 50 years of his life carving, chiseling, scraping, sanding, smoothing and sculpting all kinds of wood into anything and everything he imagined.
“I’ve always had this creative bone in my body. Many years ago, I visited an artist’s studio and when I walked in, the smell of wood got to me. I could smell the pine and it felt very familiar. I knew that I had to do this and ran out and bought a couple of chisels,” he said.

In the Eye of a Needle. There s something really impressive about all of the displays at the Miniatures Museum: little houses only two feet tall, or people the size of your fingers. Colombian artist Flor Carvajal takes things to the next level with her micro-miniature sculptures on the head of pins and in the eyes of sewing needles. All she uses is a magnifying glass, needles, synthetic resin and plenty of good lighting. This is the first time these works will be on display in the United States, and you seriously don t want to miss it. They re SO SMALL, and this woman is SO TALENTED. On display through June 27 at the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures, 4455 E. Camp Lowell Drive. GA is $10.50 and ticket slots are made available starting three weeks in advance.
