Our family went on a family vacation recently. One of our stops was Ripley's Believe It Or Not. We had a blast. There were so many different things to check out. The boys got a kick out of everything there.
Towards the end of the tour you come to a room that has small intricate carvings, paintings, detail on things you would never... well, believe. There's a cobweb that has a painting on it. A butterfly with a beautiful picture painted on it. To the side there is a case with a painting on a fly, Dracula carved into a toothpick, "The Beatles" portrait on a grain of rice, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's portraits on a grain of rice and this. The picture above isn't great, I took it threw a magnifying glass with my phone all the way zoomed in.
"Painted on a small coin, without the use of magnification, this replica of DaVinci's renowned painting "The Last Supper" was created specifically for Robert Ripley by a Brazilian street artist using a one haired brush!"
I think this part of the tour was by far my favorite part.
Just take a step back and to realize that the smallest things can often have the biggest meaning.
I think it is neat they were able to create such amazing things on such small surfaces. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! We have never visited Ripley's. What you described sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing
