Bricklayer Turns Stones

Into Works of Art

G'day folks ,

Art is a pretty undefinable thing in our world. It really is a subjective thing to ask someone what they consider art. Every person has their own unique interpretation and boundaries on what they will consider art, and what they will not.

Well you probably would be hard pressed to find people who don’t think these amazing pieces of pebble art work as pieces of art. The skill and patience it must take to create these unique works is amazing. It definitely takes a special talent to be able to bring these creations to life.

Johnny Clasper from Yorkshire, UK went from being a bricklayer to an established stonemason by rejecting the idea of a single path. He turns stones and rocks into anything ranging from patios to innovative sculptures and captivating mosaics. Check out some of his work ...

22 October 2020 - CLEVER PENCIL TIP ART by DALTON GHETTI

CLEVER PENCIL TIP ART

DALTON GHETTI

G'day folks,

I've featured this form of art before, but I just think it is so clever.

Dalton Ghetti creates miniature works of art resting solely on the tips of lead pencils. What is even more impressive is the fact that he doesn't rely on the use of a microscope or magnifying lens to sculpt out his phenomenal creations. This is one exhibit you must literally see to believe!

Dalton's "tools of the trade" include; a razor blade, a sculpting knife, a sewing needle, and a few No. 2 pencils. He carves a wide variety of designs, which range from a horse figurine to a perfectly shaped hammer.

The Brazilian-born artist currently resides in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and is a carpenter by trade. He began his artistic hobby over 25 years ago as a form of meditation.
