Brazilian-born artist Dalton Ghetti has an amazingly intricate hobby; he “sharpens” ordinary pencils into incredibly detailed works of art.

Ghetti usually uses discarded pencils and carves them using a sewing needle or tiny blade. He works when he feels inspired and can spend months or even years working on a single piece.
