Lead Art

These intricate sculptures are achieved using the graphite found in the head of an ordinary pencil tip by miniaturist Dalton Ghetti. I read that he takes several years to do each sculpture, the pencils are occasionally put on display but are not for sale, and that he is a quiet, zen sort of guy. 
His masterwork is such an amazement to me!
