For most of us pencil is
just a tool used for painting, drawing, or updating checkbooks. But in
the hands of Dalton, a Brazilian-born artist who lives in Bridgeport,
these ordinary pencils turn into miniature sculptures. He carves
sculptures out of the tips of pencils using sewing needle and razor
blade. Apart from these he needs very bright light, and there is no use
of a magnifying glass in creation of these artistic works. Each
of these sculptures takes months to years to complete as he works for
about an hour and a half a day. It took Dalton about two and half years
to complete his best-known work, "Alphabet" a set of 26 pencils with
each letter of the alphabet carved into the tip of the graphite.
