At the base, a small figure crosses a stone bridge over a cascade of pale blue water, surrounded by lush green foliage. Above, a stone terrace holds more travelers, more lanterns, more life. Higher still, the curved roofs of pagodas and temple gates rise against a warm amber sky, their upturned eaves catching the golden light that comes from behind. At the very top, clouds drift in the teal-framed sky and birds, barely visible, hang in the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole scene measures 23 centimeters wide.

The foreground the bridge, the water, the traveler is richly detailed and deeply colored. The middle layer the terraces, the stone railings, the gathered figures has slightly less definition.

And then the LED comes on for the first time and the amber glow floods the scene from behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou've built something that took real craftspeople centuries to design, and you've done it in an afternoon or several afternoons, which is even better.
