31 Amazing Sculptures Made On The Tip Of A Graphite Pencil
In school, we used to take tests with a pencil and we all had that moment when the tip broke and we had to waste valuable time sharpening the pencil, if the teacher even allowed that.Moments like those make you believe that the pencil core is very fragile and easily crushed but in fact the graphite which is part of the pencil core is very strong and durable.
Dalton Ghetti, Chau Diem, Ragna Reusch Klinkenberg, Huseyin Sarı and Hadley Weggan are few of many sculptors who have shown just how strong a pencil tip can be. They have created such amazing sculptures by carving shapes into the pencil’s tip, that will blow your mind.
Chains, animals, faces, houses are just some of the shapes that you will find among the work of these amazing artists. And as if the mere size of the sculpture isn’t impressive enough, most of these creations were done without any other aid than a magnifying glass and a needle or other very small tools.
Get ready for some squinting.
