Incredible Sculptures Carved from a Single Pencil
Equipped with a box of pencils and some carving tools, a Hungarian
artist known simply as cerkahegyzo manages to produce incredibly
detailed miniature sculptures. Each creation is constructed entirely out
of its respective pencil, utilizing the wood and lead as its base and
body. Cerkahegyzo uses the fine blades of razors and needles as well as
the buffing capabilities of sandpaper, files, and polishing stones to
whittle and shape his intricate pencil creations. The Budapest-based
sculptor effectively constructs patterns and designs that creatively
make the eyes wander back and forth and, at times, seem almost
impossible. Like Dalton Ghetti, cerkahegyzo is a meticulous master of
pencil sculpting. The artist even pays homage to Ghetti by replicating
his sculptures of a heart, screw, and linked chains.
Additionally, cerkahegyzo adds a playful touch, using tiny props to
enliven images of his carvings. A needle and spool made out of the dark
core of a pencil is cleverly adorned with bright, orange thread and a
seemingly slithering snake is given some ambience with an accompanying
sprout. 28 more images after the break...
