Brazilian born, Connecticut based, Dalton Ghetti carefully crafts the
tips of pencils into amazing micro sculptures. These miniature
masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has
been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor
blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of
patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere
between a few months to a few years. Over time he has broken many works
in progress and keeps them in what he calls the cemetery collection. One
of the most fascinating things about these tiny works of art is that he
has never sold them, only given away to friends as gifts.
