If you look closely, this gigantic globe might spark something.
Artist Andy Yoder spent two years meticulously assorting 300,000 matchsticks into the shape of Earth. Yoder calls his 3D take on dot art "Early One Morning."

Fortunately, this art installation won't go up in flames. The artist hand-painted each matchstick, glued it to a foam-and-cardboard frame and covered the entire piece with a flame-retardant coating.
The globe is so detailed that it even includes weather, as shown in this closeup of hurricane Sandy.
