Innovative art using a pencil for purposes other than "writing"

Although pencils have been used for a long time as writing instruments and painter's drawing tools, we will introduce arts that use it somewhat differently.

Just imagining fine handicrafts seems to have tightened the nerve, but the result is very beautiful.

Details are as below.Pencil sculptures: miniature masterpieces carved into graphite by Dalton Ghetti - Telegraph

Instead of using a pencil as a writing instrument, this work that sculpted itself is by Dalton Ghetti's hand.


Mr. Dalton who carved a friend's name on a pencil pattern while he was a student and carved a big thing after entering a sculpture road, but I want to sculpt a smaller thing for a challenge to myself It seems that it began to think. And as a result of doing experiments with various things such as chalk, it seems to have discovered that it is good to carve a pencil.


What is used for this precise pencil sculpture is a razor blade, a sewing needle, and a sculpture sword. I do not use magnifying glass at all, nor have I sold the work no matter how much I asked, I say that it is nothing but giving it to my friends.

It is said that the work which made this connected chain a motif was the most painful work. He said that it was nice to see the person who saw this work thinking "I must have made it with two pencils". In fact it means digging out of a single pencil, but I can not believe in anything.

A saw saw that a sharp blade was represented brilliantly. Currently, he happened in 2001September 11 terrorist attacks in the United StatesIn order to memorialize the victims of the victims, we have created works one by one every day since 2002, and the production speed is getting higher enough to carve it in one hour now. It is said that it is expected to take ten years to complete by combining them and creating a shape of big tears, but I am very excited about completion.
