THE WOMAN WHO MADE AMY WINEHOUSE... AND MICHAEL JACKSON, AND STING, AND NOEL GALLAGHER, AND ...
Meet the woman who made Amy Winehouse - literally.
Talented Liz Lomax creates amazing mini sculptures of famous rockers by hand - and has used BRILLO PADS for Amy's hair.

And the stars love her affectionate versions of them so much that they are only too pleased to say thanks.
New Yorker Liz's souvenir scrapbook includes pictures of her with Ringo Starr, Paul Weller and Roger Daltrey.

Liz explains: "Most of my ideas come from watching people in the news and current events. There'll be that one person or situation that will jump out and I can see the whole thing sculpted in my head.
