Re: Pencil Sculptures of Dalton Ghetti

lol...I cannot even sharpen a pencil properly. The tip usually breaks off. Unbelievable is right...it will be so difficult to work that small. He must have very good eyesight.

Those are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Love the ones with the linked objects the key and then the heart hanging inside the pencil itself! His art is amazing.

Re: Pencil Sculptures of Dalton Ghetti

I just saw these at the New Britain Museum of Art in Connecticut. I must admit I didnt look at them when I first went into the gallery where they were. It was only when I went in the gift shop and saw posters and cards that had closeups of their tips that I went back in to see them. Quite incredible and a nice continuation of those old-time "How'd he do that" miniature objects.

Scroll down this page on the museum's site:
