Iowa man creates desperate pleas for companionship
"Iowa artist Patrick Acton turns ordinary wooden matchsticks into incredible works of art. The Matchstick Marvels display is wood art at its best, showing creativity and detail work unmatched by other skilled woodworkers. Millions of matchsticks have been painstakingly glued together to represent models of planes, trains, ships, or anything else that strikes his imagination.
"Since 1977 Acton has built large matchstick models. Many are featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not museums in the United States, Mexico, Australia, Indonesia, and Europe."
