Carpenter/Artist Dalton Ghetti can take up to two and a half years to sculpt the tip of a no.2 pencil. Seriously, this is something you do to bide the time in prison or something. But, Dalton is a free man and he does this! Patience is on his side for sure. He uses a razor blade, sewing needle and a sculpting knife (aka what is in Joan Rivers’ makeup box) to create these miniscule creations. So next time you want to throw out the nubby Ticonderoga, think of the sculpting those bad boys! Or not.
Speaking of pencils, check out this Parmesan Cheese pencil by Kolle Rebbe. These edible pencils come in the following flavors: truffles, pesto and chilli. It also comes with a sharpener so you don’t have to dig up a pencil sharpener with lead on it and die. I love this idea! This should be on every Italian restaurant table everywhere. Seriously.
