A collection of Baskin’s miniatures will on display at the Richton Park Library during the month of August, and on Aug. 26, Baskin will host a public workshop.

See a slideshow of Baskin making a tiny toilet paper roll with a step-by-step guide. Visit the Lil' Thangz Facebook page for more guides and images.
