Mother of Toothpick Art

When someone mentions word toothpick to me, first thought I visualize is a huge meal in front of me after which I will need to pick my teeth while drinking some juice. But that is just me, for these guys word “toothpick” means hours and hours of eyestrain and precision work. I treat toothpick like piece of wood that I use and dispose, but this guys are treating it like material of which anything can be created. For some of those creations it took 35 years to be completed, and over 30k toothpicks. We can do nothing but admire the artist that was ready to spend that kind of time on a piece of art made of toothpicks.
