In a world where creativity knows no bounds, I am thrilled to showcase my microscopic masterpiece of the world's tiniest hand-carved 24-carat gold microscopic interpretation of the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup. I created the microscopic masterpiece as a homage to one of the world's toughest games, to celebrate the opening of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the fascinating controversial history of the origins of Rugby. The story goes that in 1823, the youngster was playing football at School in Warwickshire but instead of kicking the ball he caught it and decided to run with it, creating the game as we know it. While it may be a nice idea, however, the story has been heavily disputed.
Creating this one-of-a-kind micro-sculpture of the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup took me approximately five weeks of painstaking craftsmanship and demanded many hours dedicated to perfecting the minutest details. My trusted tool in this remarkable journey is the Nikon SMZ 18 stereo microscope, a technological marvel that provides me with essential visual feedback as I shape these diminutive masterpieces. This extraordinary microscope, with its enhanced working distance, grants me the space needed to manipulate my artwork with precision.
My journey has been marked by accolades, including two Guinness World Records, an MBE, and an honorary doctorate - a testament to the profound impact of my contributions to the world of art and sculpture. With each piece I create, I aspire to ignite the flames of joy and wonder in those who behold them.
My micro-sculptures continue to captivate both art enthusiasts and scientists alike. The mystery of how I produce these minuscule masterpieces on a microscopic scale remains unsolved. I've had the privilege of showcasing my creations on a global stage, collaborating with luminaries from the realms of celebrity, watchmaking, jewellery, and the arts.
The Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup Micro-Sculpture stands alone as a singular work of art, perfect for collectors seeking the truly unique.
