American based, native Brazilian, Dalton Ghetti challenged himself to create the smallest possible carvings that he could see with his naked eye and started carving a working pencil. Dalton's work is a recycling process with most of the pencils found on the streets and sidewalks. Carved mostly with a sewing needle and a very sharp, triangular, small, metal blade it can take months or sometimes years to complete. Sculpting pencils is a hobby and a form of meditation for Dalton who chooses not to sell it.
Challenge yourself to make your product small. Then make it even smaller. And then decrease the size to the smallest it can possibly be. Unexpected innovation might just linger in this tiny scale.
