Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle: Bringing Light, Hope and Peace to the World.

Updated: Dec 22, 2023

Just in time for Christmas, I have created a magical microscopic Christmas masterpiece for the whole world to see.


The Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle is my latest microscopic sculpture.

The micro sculpture was made for everyone, bringing a glimmer of magical light, hope and peace to the hearts and minds of everyone around the world this Christmas. This handmade microscopic sculpture was painstakingly created and intensely pieced together under a powerful microscope. Whilst juggling several other micro sculptures for next year's Disappearing World exhibitions, Willard spent hundreds of extra hours to complete the piece, working between heartbeats, working through the night and intensely focusing and concentrating to finish the piece just in time for Christmas.

During the holiday season, the themes of Light, Hope, and Peace shine brightly, offering a powerful source of positivity that transcends individual circumstances. This Christmas, let's explore how these uplifting concepts can infuse joy and optimism into our lives.

1. Light: Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle

During the winter season, when days are shorter and darkness lingers longer, the symbolism of light becomes especially poignant. The glow of festive decorations, twinkling lights on trees, and the warm flicker of candles all serve as reminders that even in the darkest times, there is always the potential for illumination. Light represents clarity, understanding, and the triumph of good over adversity. This Christmas, let the radiance of light inspire you to find the bright spots in your life, seek knowledge, and share warmth with others.

2. Hope: Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle

Christmas is a celebration of hope—hope for a better world, hope for personal growth, and hope for positive change. The holiday season encourages us to believe in the possibility of a brighter future, fostering an atmosphere of optimism. No matter what challenges we may face, hope serves as an anchor, reminding us that tomorrow is a new day filled with opportunities for renewal and growth. Embrace the spirit of hope this Christmas, allowing it to rekindle your aspirations and fuel your determination to overcome obstacles.

3. Peace:Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the quest for peace becomes a universal desire. Whether it's the tranquillity of a snowy landscape, the quiet moments spent with loved ones, or the inner peace cultivated through reflection, this season offers a chance to embrace serenity. Peace is a powerful force that can calm the storms within and around us. This Christmas, make an effort to foster peace in your heart and extend it to those around you. Cultivate an environment where understanding and compassion flourish, creating a peaceful atmosphere that transcends the holiday season.


Together, Light, Hope, and Peace form a harmonious symphony, weaving a narrative of positivity and inspiration. They remind us that even in the face of challenges, there is beauty, growth, and the potential for positive change. This Christmas, let these timeless concepts be your guiding stars, leading you to a place of joy, optimism, and connection with others.

The camels and Three Little Kings in the Eye of a Needle are microscopic fragments of nylon, the star is made from micro fragments of glitter to make it shine and 24-carat gold was used for the crowns. Willard painted the micro sculpture using one of his eyelashes as a paintbrush.

I hope this piece brings blessing Light, Hope and peace to the whole world this Christmas.
