Micro-Scale Pencil Lead Sculptures by Dalton Ghetti
Dalton Ghetti makes art from an EXTREMELY small medium: pencil lead. With the steady hand of a surgeon and some obviously super sharp tools (I’d love to see his kit), he transforms writing instruments into tiny sculptures, including mind blowing links of “chain.” Originally from Brazil but based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he spends months to years on each sculpture. People in the New Rochelle, NY area can check Ghetti’s work close up and personal at the Brother Kenneth Chapman Gallery, Sept 8, 2010.

Hi, I'm Mike. I’m the executive editor of Make: magazine, and host of Discovery channel’s Punkin' Chunkin' and Catch It Keep It, TV shows where I build and explain crazy machines that crush stuff, blow things up, shoot fire, all in the name of science.
I've previously worked at Wired and ReadyMade magazines, writing about how to utilize new technology in our everyday lives.
This site is where I keep a list of instructions for fun projects I've done, am working on, or draw inspiration from. I encourage everyone to get involved — get up and do something!
