The Matchstick Art By David Mach - sculptures part 2
Using tens of thousands of matchsticks, David Mach creates detailed models of animals, symbols or historical figures.55-year-old David Mach, from Scotland, has a passion for art and matchsticks, so he decided to combine them and create unique masterpieces. Using a clay mold he creates a plastic or fiberglass model of whatever he wants to create, and then begins the process of sticking matchsticks on it, one at a time. Most of his creations are made with tens of thousands of colored-tip matchsticks, imported from Japan, and take months to complete.Along with his wife, who helps him run his art studio, David Mach has so far created over 350 matchstick artworks. They sell for anywhere between $30,000 and $52,000, but they don't always make it to the auction, as the duo sometimes set them aflame at art exhibitions.
