Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

After receiving these unique and astonishing photos via email 3 or 4 times now,
I thought perhaps it would be fun to share them with you here on my blog.
Even if you've already seen them, art like this is always deserving of multiple views!
I also did a little sleuthing on the artist - a man as interesting as his artwork!
You can find out more about him below. In the meantime, ENJOY HIS ART!!!

The talented and visionary man behind all these painstaking creations is Dalton Ghetti.
Dalton, 49, lives and works in Westport, Connecticut. He's been doing this for 25 years!
His tools are mainly a razor blade, and a sewing needle. No magnifying glass!
Some projects take days, many months, or even years to complete. And patience!
Dalton's main income comes from carpentry, though his artwork is his special talent.

I found several good articles, but this one seemed to have the most information.

ReplyDeleteI love that every person has a story and we're all so different, and take different paths, and have different talents, and it's so fascinating to see how everyone finds their niche.
