Tiny Table of Food
Charlotte and Martin Willmott have no formal training in tiny sculpture-making, but the husband-and-wife team impressively created this farmhouse table (£85) fit for a decent-sized beetle. The couple was first inspired 30 years ago by a man making 1/12th scale chairs. Today they live in Ipswich, England, and travel all over to miniature art fairs, where one of their mini Atlantic salmon goes for £45.

I'm so glad you posted this. I collect food miniatures and everyone I know thinks I'm insane; this gives my hobby some semblance of legitimacy...
If anyone is interested in collecting mini-food that doesn't cost $90 per fish, Toy Tokyo in NYC's East Village sells boxes of Japanese Re-Ment (the foremost miniature brand) for $4-5 per meal set. Of course, it's plastic, not clay or bone china. I have some pictures of my collection here: http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/06/18/the-best-things-in-life-are-wee/
