Title: I found something really amazing.
Post by: karadan on August 17, 2010, 09:36:25 AM
So there's this guy called Dalton Ghetti and he makes micro sculptures - out of the tips of pencils. My jaw literally fell off when i saw this. Apparently he doesn't use any sort of magnification either!

I'm fascinated by people who have such talent and patience.

Holy tits on a stick! That is impressive. I wonder how he first got the idea for micro sculptures.

Indeed, there aren't enough superlatives to describe this guy. I guess he realised he had steady hands and and eye for detail in his main job as a carpenter. Maybe he was sharpening a pencil with a scalpel one day and had a bright idea.

I'm amazed some of them take a year or more to complete.

Almost unbelievable! What incredible dexterity! There really aren't word's to describe this so I'll coin one:

Ghettism: Manual dexterity of such high quality as to leave the observer speechless with admiration. The word is derived from the work of Donald Ghetti, a micro sculptor who's works are created from pencil leads. [/list]

    This word needs to be put in public use.
