.......Dalton Ghetti Creates Amazing Sculptures On Tips of Pencils

Dalton Ghetti, an artist from Bridgeport, U.S., has spent a good 25

years of his life working with a razor blade, a sewing needle and a

sculpting knife to carve unique miniature sculptures on the graphite

        of used pencils.

The 49 year old said: "At school I would carve a friend's name into

the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. Later,

when I got into sculpture, I would make these huge pieces from things

like wood, but decided I wanted to challenge myself by trying to make

things as small as possible. I experimented sculpting with different

materials, such as chalk, but one day I had an eureka moment and

decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil"

Dalton 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"

         The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil
       with interlinking chains. A standard figure will take several months.
       He said: "The interlinking chains took the most effort and I was
       really pleased with it because it's so intricate people think it must be
       two pencils"When Dalton, from Connecticut, USA, first started he would
       become frustrated when a piece would break before being finished
       after he had spent months working on it. He said: "It would drive me
       mad when I would be just a bit too heavy handed and the pencil's tip
       would break. I would get very nervous sometimes, particularly when the
       piece was almost finished, and then I would make a mistake.
                    I decided to change the way I thought about
         the work -when I started a new piece
         my attitude would be 'well this will break
         eventually but let's see how far I get.
         It helped me break fewer  pencils,
         and although I still do break them,

it's not as often"

Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, has a box full of more than

100 sculptures that have broken while working on them that he

affectionately calls 'the cemetery collection'. He said: "I have quite a few

broken pieces so I decided to glue them on pins and into styrofoam for

a display case. People might think it's weird I keep them but they're still

interesting. I worked on them for months so they might be dead

now but at one point I gave them life"

Dalton has made about 100 carvings, and is currently working

on an epic piece inspired by the September 11 attacks on the World

Trade Center. He said: "I decided to make a teardrop pencil carving

for each of the people who died in the attack, about 3,000.

Since 2002 I have carved one every day, it takes me under an hour.

When I'm done they will form one big tear drop. It will take me

about 10 years but it will be worth it"

"I don't make any money from it but that's not what it's about

for me. However, I would love for a gallery owner in England to fly

me over to put on a show," he said.

experience is the "Marvel Super Heroes 4D" cinema attraction,
where you can watch heroes like Wolverine, Iron Man, Spider-Man
and the Hulk duke it out with Dr. Doom in a 360-degree visual
experience, screened in Madame Tussauds' famous domed auditorium.

Keep reading for more pictures from the exhibit.

Get ready for the ultimate 4D adventure!

Step into the spectacular 284 seat 4D cinema to witness something
incredible. Sitting beneath the 360 degree screen, your senses are

Money face

Money Faces

Most money bills have famous
people on them - presidents,
royalty, religion leaders or any other
people lucky enough to get their face
on a bill. If you don’t mind folding a bill
(I know some people that do)
you can make something really neat.
All you need is a bill with
a portrait and get folding.
