Miniature pencil sculptures

[Veho]

Dalton Ghetti creates miniature sculptures on the tips of pencils. He carves the wood and graphite into elaborate miniatures.

How elaborate? Quite elaborate.

Ladies. Look at your pencil. Now back to this. Now back at your pencil. Now back to this.

Pretty damn tiny, isn't it?

Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand”

QUOTEThe longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains. A standard figure will take several months. He said: “The interlinking chains took the most effort and I was really pleased with it because it’s so intricate people think it must be two pencils”

Amazing.

Impressive, but I think this is even more amazing, just because of the scale and detail:
