Pencil Sculptures

I stumbled upon these amazing Pencil Tip Sculptures, by a Brazilian born artist called Dalton. He carves these tiny sculptures from pencil lead using sewing needles and razor blades to create these magnificent masterpieces.

The patience and skill it must have taken to make these blows my mind. I wonder how many times he had to restart because of a tiny slip of the hand...it doesn't bear thinking about really.
