MINIATURIZATION   as a young teenager, i had a great interest in miniaturization.....recently, i found old Flash comics in which our red-costumed hero is reduced to a sentient sub-atomic-size being, mad scientists keep miniature worlds in terrariums.....literally dozens of examples, my favorite being "The Incredible Shrinking Man"....which, incidentally, i still think of as a masterpiece.....the ending.....just blew me away!......interestingly enough, my career as a jeweler entailed viewing things through the lens of a binocular microscope.....so it figures that i am drawn to "details" and "intricacy", both in the world of stuff....and the one of ideas........ref. my blog about my mother's silk clutch bag.......! I think there's a lot more here........
