Incredible Pencil Carvings

WOW WOW WOW! Check these out!! I don't think I have ever been so impressed with a mini sculpture or with any sculpture to be honest! These are incredible!

These little pencil sculptures are the handy work of Dalton M. Ghetti and would you believe it, he does it all without WITHOUT a magnifying glass!

At first, he carved large objects; but in 1986, as a challenge to himself and because of his interest in small living things, like plants (moss) and insects (spiders and ants), he decided to create the smallest possible carvings that he could see with his naked eyes. One day, he picked up a working pencil and started carving it.

His idea is to bring people’s attention to small things. Small is beautiful. Most of the pencils he uses are found on the streets and sidewalks. Dalton’s work is a recycling process. He turns discarded objects into art.
