Letters are Everywhere! The Alphabet in September

With a pencil in our hand we can let our imagination run wild but who'd have thought that you could do this? (click on the picture to make it bigger)

All of these alphabet letters have been carved out of the lead points of these pencils...amazing!  
Thanks to the parent reader of The Learning Den blog who sent these images in.

These incredible sculptures are by an artist called Dalton Ghetti and you can see some more of his work here:-     http://koikoikoi.com/2010/08/micro-sculptures-by-dalton-ghetti/
