Tiny Pencil Tip Carvings

When art is concerned, Dalton Ghetti gets right down to the point. A carpenter by trade, Ghetti has been carving intricate sculptures on tips of regular graphite pencils for over 25 years. He once spent two and half years working on a single sculpture, a pencil with interlinking chains.

Ghetti uses a few basic tools and doesn’t even need a magnifying glass to aid in his creation process. Have a look at his amazing work after the jump.

    I can’t fathom how much patience a Pencil Tip Carver must have to create artworks such as the above. And who would have thought that pencils – those forgotten instruments of education – would make a come-back! I have a similar post with pencil sculptures: http://www.witnessthis.co.za/2010/01/20/pencil-art/

    I’ll definitly link to these! :)

      Those pencil sculptures are great! This might be a tad macabre but I also like Nadine Jarvis’s use of cremated remains.
