Dalton Ghetti creates intricate detailed miniature sculptures on the tip of a pencil. Ghetti, who works as a carpenter uses simple tools like razor blades and needles to create delicate his tiny works of art. He states that he refuses to use a magnifying glass and that he doesn't sell any of his work. Ghetti – who grew up in Brazil and now lives in Connecticut in the USA – have been carving since he was a schoolboy; he used to sharpened his pencil with a razor or a pocketknife. He started sculpting with wood and stone, and then moved to carving soap, candles and even broom handles before he found his niche about 25 years ago. At the moment Ghetti is busy with a project that entails carving a pencil for each victim of 9/11 – he states that he carves one each morning before he goes to work and that it would take him up to ten years to complete the project. He plans to exhibit all the pencils together as one artwork.
