i really wish i was this creative!

these are works of the artist Dalton Ghetti. a man who must have pretty steady hands, eyes like a hawk, and lots of patience. i just read somewhere that he spends up to two and a half years creating each handmade piece. talk about a dedicated artist!

i always feel like it's such a waste when i throw away pencils that have become too short to write with. maybe i should send them to him?
