Sculptures carved from ordinary pencils, dazzling!

Cindy Chinn - artist. She lives in the US, in Nebraska. A year ago, she was fascinated by the manufacture of microscopic sculptures made of wood. The material for the ordinary pencils are her work. Cindy works with the help of magnifying glasses, and creates a whole composition, which can be seen only with a magnifying glass. The accuracy of detail in her works is simply amazing! The last work of Cindy - "Elephants in the Serengeti" - depicts a family of elephants on the boardwalk. "I did it to order, and the first one was going to make an elephant, - says the artist. - But then the work captivated me, and I lost track of time. " In this work she took a few days.
