Check out this Old West Town made out of matchsticks!!!

in art •  8 years ago 

An elderly friend of my dad makes detailed miniatures out of matchsticks and Popsicle sticks. Here is the tiny Old West Town that he has spent years on. The detail in these is astounding. I think people will really enjoy seeing this one of a kind creativity.

It blows my mind that he used Elmer's school glue for these! It doesn't take much money to create if you've got something in your heart you want to share.

Here is the grainery with it's mill from both sides:

Here is the little church:

The country store:

Houses:

The Hotel:

Water tower:

Hope you enjoyed these! Stay tuned to see his farmhouse and equipment, even cars!

Take that, "Westworld"! haha
great find!

I looked up "Westworld." Seems interesting - I used to really like Michael Crichton, but the premise plus Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris would be sure to give me the heebie-jeebies. TV these days is freaking traumatizing, on purpose, of course.

It's a great show, you won't regret it!

I might check it out, but if I need therapy, I'm lookin to you! haha

Wow, what an amazing thing to do! It looks really awesome :-)

This is awesome!

It'd be tragic, but I can't help but think how ironic it would be if a fire swept through and burnt down this matchstick town.

That would be ironic and I hope it doesn't happen, but even if it does there is a leetle fire station and a teensy fire truck, so this town can take care of itself!

Glad to hear they have taken precautions!

awsome piece of art
