Making A Good Point

Making a good point: The King of miniature sculpture carves tiny Elvis (and a host of other amazing objects) into pencils

Many artists have used pencils to create beautiful pieces of work - but only one creates stunning masterpieces on the tip of one.
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.
