Mui-Ling Teh makes small but perfectly formed creations out of simple paper, and some of them are so small that they can only be appreciated in close-up photographs. The smallest of the tiny models stand at just 3mm- and look like a mere speck to the naked eye. Using just paper, scissors and tweezers, the 23 year-old painstakingly creates the wonderful works. The architecture student, who has worked in England, first began to experiment with origami when she was just nine years old when she used sweet wrappers to create tiny models. Since then she has continued to create smaller and smaller models, creating flowers, planes and birds in miniature. Incredibly, the pieces can take her just 20 minutes to create, although she has to take painstaking care to ensure that the folding is done precisely. She said:"I believe at my first attempt took me about an hour, but later I have managed to fold one in about 20 minutes. (Picture By©Mui-Ling The)
