culturenlifestyle: Impressive Miniature Pencil Sculptures By Cindy ChinnAmerican artist Cindy Chinn creates whimsical and miniature sculptures composed of pencil lead. To carve the graphite to a desired shape, Chinn uses an Exacto blade and a small needle to remove the bulk. Each sculpture stands less than .25 inches on their own. Under’s Chnin’s limited but necessary tools is a 5x diopter magnifying glass, which is essential to carve each figurine. To create one piece, Chinn takes anywhere between 3 to 4 hours, although other detail-oriented pieces like the minuscule locomotive took 9 hours to complete.To showcase her impressive tiny pieces, Chinn displays them in a case with their own magnifying glass for inspection. Although, her newfound love for carving pencils came with extreme lessons in artistry, Chinn’s craftsmanship skills have been a topic of discussion and admiration.You can find more of Chinn’s incredible work in her Etsy shop.View similar posts here! -- source link
