The main idea of this design is to show - that some goals requires a lot of effort and time. Just like matchstick modelling, since we compare it to skin creating process - it requires hard work, patience and persistence.
Never give up and don't be upset about mistakes, since if you wont face em - you won't know how to prevent em.

Every matchstick that you can see on the final design was manually placed by hands, stick by stick.
