I'll be dedicating the next three posts (after this one) to this very same theme-within-the-theme: "tiny critters"
 15 of the World’s Most Adorable Miniature Animals [photo-gallery ; informational/educational] {as seen above, in clockwise order: Philippine Tarsier, Bee Hummingbird, Pygmy Marmoset, Brookesia Minima Chameleon}

tiny critters
(... continued, from above)
 The Monte Iberia Eleuth, the smallest Frog in the (Northern) World [the creature seen on Discovery's LIFE] Another tiny creature that was only recently discovered [less than 15 years ago] is the Monte Iberia Eleuth, which was discovered on a mountain in Cuba. Specimens that measure just 8.5 millimeters have been found, putting it in the running for the title of world’s smallest frog. The current record holder, the Brazilian Gold Frog, measures about 9 millimeters. Very little is known about the Monte Iberia Eleuth other than the fact that it’s critically endangered.

 The Paedocypris carp is the smallest known fish in the world, found in the peat swamps of Sumatra in 2006. Adults grow only to about 7.9 millimeters. This unusual species has a rudimentary skull which leaves the brain exposed, and it feeds primarily on plankton. Scientists warn that the species is at great risk of extinction due to the destruction of Indonesian peat swamps for palm oil plantations.

... the culmination: This is Thumbellina
 The world’s smallest horse is just 17 inches tall, barely larger than a house cat. Born on a farm owned by a couple who breeds miniature horses, Thumbelina was tiny even compared to the rest of the couple’s horses, who typically reach about 34 inches in height when fully grown. She weights just 60 pounds and her size has been attributed to dwarfism, making her “a miniature of a miniature”. [webecoist.]

reversing the concept
 Photography by Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir (Iceland) author's comments: been planning to shoot this for several months, finally got around to it today. (Baking and assembling a giant slice-shaped cake was trickier than i thought it would be) Much thanks to my clever brother for making the fork, and to his lovely daughter (age 7) for being my assistant here. Edit: already, despite my caption above, i'm getting comments about the "fork looking so real!" etc, so i will repeat, because i put so much work into this, that these are all real oversized props ;)

as was previously (now?) seen in Wandsworth, London:
 “The Last Resort”, artwork (miniaturism, street art, sculpture/installations, photography) by Slinkachu. author's comments: This is the first image from my new solo show, 'Concrete Ocean'. The show opens 2nd March 2011 at Andipa Gallery in London and will feature a mixture of new images and installations. I am really excited about this show - it has been fun to work on! You can find out a bit more about the show on the Andipa website. I will be posting more images and information over the next few weeks, so check back often. *previously

 It would figure that the one real origin of this photo has it hailing from the isles of Japan.

 This is the world's smallest aquarium and was made by Anatoly Konenko, a Russian artist who specialises in making really small stuff. His custom fishbowl is just 30x24x14mm and holds a mere 10ml of water. -- (Photo by: CHRIS MURPHY) [Telegraph. / wiki.]

 It took Alan Wolfson 18 months to create this urban sculpture: a detailed miniature cross-section of Canal St. author's comments: I wanted to build a piece that resembled a core sample of a city street. As though you took a street, dug it up, and lifted it straight off the earth. Canal St. Cross-Section is a combination of five major pieces built into one box. VIEW MORE...
