Making a good point: Pencil sculpture

Making a good point: Pencil sculpture

Microscopic artist Dalton Ghetti spends up to two-and-a half years painstakingly crafting each handmade piece on the graphite of a pencil.

Mr Ghetti, who works as a carpenter, has been working with pencils for about 25 years and his stunning sculptures include Elvis, the entire alphabet, linking chains and even an entire church which is just 10mm tall.

Elvis carved on on lead is just one of hundreds of pencil creations by artist Dalton
