He has placed his work in the eye of a needle, on the end of a needle and on a cat’s whisker.

He also mounted a mini helicopter on an eyelash, which is one of the piece’s people will be able to see in Bodmin.

Thompson created a microscope viewing dome for his pieces, which include a Ferrari horse on the end of a match stick valued at £100,000, the Aston Villa lion logo that was displayed at the club and a waving cat.

In the run-up to Halloween he made a microscopic gold witch flying out of an syringe point of a needle, along with a small Cornish pixie.

He said: “I’ve got many pieces to entertain people covering a range of different subjects.

“I’ve got quite a big car collection and what I call a 007 collection, which consists of Aston Martin wing DBS badge, and the 007 logo, all through the eye of a needle.”

He added: “I’ve also created a standing Buddha out of white gold, a Chinese god called Caishen which fits on a meteorite, and a camel through the eye of a needle, so there is plenty of variety in my work.”
