Amazing Pencils Carving

<div style="text-align: justify;">Many artists have used pencils to create works of art, but Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils. Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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. The 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. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Dalton, from Connecticut, USA, first started he would become frustrated when a piece would break before being finished after he had spent months working on it. Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, has a box full of more than 100 sculptures that have broken while working on them that he affectionately calls 'the cemetery collection'.</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjprj-atVybYiwaVeqBrTeWfOo5RDol_vrGce_Rq_FO7xDA_DULuLjpfz6i44LihpIGaBizPb5_ztSDJS0O4TieSWfZ3Nl0IZdjyIfLgfkQPWK1U-CXwl0nZV1lvOMcodl5kkLafv4M4Wfr/s1600/enhanced-buzz-28456-1280520846-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjprj-atVybYiwaVeqBrTeWfOo5RDol_vrGce_Rq_FO7xDA_DULuLjpfz6i44LihpIGaBizPb5_ztSDJS0O4TieSWfZ3Nl0IZdjyIfLgfkQPWK1U-CXwl0nZV1lvOMcodl5kkLafv4M4Wfr/s640/enhanced-buzz-28456-1280520846-2.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy3e4fqyVKNuMVGHI1JgVuDPM8mzXP9hwWDIuWZ3sR10XEUXVcOujpw76_LnSsF7G37pt8o2Yn4040EBxuZlKhpt9JeesMh7gQs4fQA0Fb-HsCe-e-yHmBRRMc3sEeo2aZxCaysrGJlVu/s1600/Pencil+Carving+Dalton+Ghetti+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy3e4fqyVKNuMVGHI1JgVuDPM8mzXP9hwWDIuWZ3sR10XEUXVcOujpw76_LnSsF7G37pt8o2Yn4040EBxuZlKhpt9JeesMh7gQs4fQA0Fb-HsCe-e-yHmBRRMc3sEeo2aZxCaysrGJlVu/s640/Pencil+Carving+Dalton+Ghetti+016.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/amazing-pencils-carving.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
