Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencils by Dalton Ghetti

Dalton Ghetti (a carpenter by trade) 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. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand” Click on the link to see many more photos of this Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti

Orange Office

I opened a drawer in my studio and found a pile of old marbles I've collected over the years. These are Bennington and clay marbles from the 19th century photographed on an old coverlet.
