Toothpick Architecture

There are ways to express one's own creativity. Most creative people are not limited to the availability of materials to create their masterpieces. There are a few who use the most common materials available to express their art and still create magnificent masterpieces.
Toothpick Art

The artists below skillfully create marvelous sculptures using toothpicks or matchsticks as their main material. The number of materials, effort, and patience that they put into their work will surely boggle one's mind.

Back in my college days, we regularly produce scaled models of our proposed designs. I know from experience how tiresome it is to make a scaled model using the usual materials. That's why I appreciate the complexity of these sculptures because creating a scaled toothpicks model is a lot harder than using boards or vinyl for scaled models.
