Dalton Ghetti : Pencil Tip Micro Sculptures

These unbelievable graphite micro sculptures were created by Dalton Ghetti, a professional carpenter working on these pencils as a side project. He has been perfecting the art of micro graphite sculpting for the last 25 years. Using a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife these sculptures can take anywhere between a few months to a few years to finish.

As you can imagine, many of the pencil sculptures have broken over the years, Dalton keeps them in what he calls 'The Cemetery Collection' - I'm sure these alone would be an impressive sight! Amazingly he has never sold any of his pieces and only given away to friends as gifts.
