Love it!

EJ Tangerman wrote a pamphlet called "Things to do With a Pocket Knife" and on the cover is "The Prisoner" carved from three matches. One of the matches forms a ball and chain.

Now that is just impossible!!! Well for me anyway. I couldn't see that small anymore. Well done. I have seen one of our artists on here carve an entire train from a matchstick.

Under the one on the penny, it looks like a tiny chain on the penny itself.
