The diamonds, and pearls etc are of course brilliant, but I will never understand how an artist can be so accomplished as to render something less than an inch high so incredibly lifelike.
Makes me want to collect miniatures. ;) Not the kind I already collect, that live in a repurposed 'printers frame'--but *real* miniatures, that are works of fine art.
