Dalton Ghetti- Small is beautiful

"For Dalton, sculpting pencils is a hobby and a form of meditation, which requires a lot of patience. His pencil carvings are not for sale. He doesn’t do it for money. He sculpts pencils mostly for himself and his art comes from his heart. He wants to keep it that way."


Restless Minds all over the world, open your eyes and prepare yourself to see what "Small is beautiful" means.

I will leave you with some pictures:

Et voilá!
