These wonderful micro sculptures are carved by Vietnamese-American artist
Diem Chau.
The sculpture of an elephant was made after Diem saw the photos of Jimmy
John Liautaud, founder of Jimmy John's, killing endangered animals on
safari in Africa. "I was enraged and disgusted," says Diem on her blog. "I
wanted to make something beautiful and sad. I feel his loneliness."
The second piece called "The Raven & The Sun" is based on the Native
American myth of how the Raven stole the Sun and gave light to the world.

Meet Dalton Ghetti, a 49 year old carpenter, who makes probably the tiniest
sculptures in the world. It can sound unbelievable, but he manages to carve
a highly detailed sculpture on the tip of a pencil from available graphite.
Now living in Connecticut, USA, he has been doing these mind-blowing works
for about 25 years.

"At school I would carve a friend's name into the wood of a pencil and then
give it to them as a present. Later, when I got into sculpture, I would
make these huge pieces from things like wood, but decided I wanted to
challenge myself by trying to make things as small as possible. I
experimented sculpting with different materials, such as chalk, but one day
I had an eureka moment and decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil"
– says, Dalton, who is originally from Brazil.

All he needs is three basic tools – a razor blade, sewing needle and
sculpting knife. Dalton doesn't even use a magnifying glass! While a
standard figure will take several months to make, he has spent two and half
years on a pencil.
