Hair portrait
A portrait of Qi Baishi, a Chinese painter famous for his pictures of lobsters, is shown in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province on Oct 26, 2010. This portrait, 2.1 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide, took more than two months to be made, because it is made from more than 300 strands of hair. Zhang Dexuan, 66, has been practicing this skill for 54 years and claims that he is the only one who can weave pictures using hair. [Photo/CFP]
