Ghetti is an artist who utilises pencils not for rough drafts or
sketches of his creations, but shapes each lead into curious, miniature
sculptures.
No
magnifying glass either. He just use a tiny knife, a shaving blade, a
sewing needle, a sort of minute saw shown on the picture below and of
course, an indescribable amount of patience as, apart from the
incredible and obvious difficulty in the working itself, it takes
several months to complete each piece of his art.
I
can't help wondering how many pencils he had to throw away which didn't
shaped up to the precise way he wanted it, before the final and exact
'carbon copy' in his mind materializes?
And
what if, when shaping the very last bit, on the nearly invisible tip of
the fragile creation, it broke off? Or not as it should be but there's
no more room, or means, left for correction? Can you imagine the utter
frustration then? The screams? The curses? The desperation? The
unforgiving blame he must have laid on himself!
