Artist carves breathtakingly beautiful miniature sculptures in PENCIL tips
Chien-Chu Lee's intricate works include the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower
FOOTAGE of Taiwan artist Chien-Chu Lee shows the genius at work as he peers through his magnifying glass to create a series of ornate miniature sculptures using pencil tips.
The 42-year-old artist has been creating the breathtaking pieces for the past six years at his home in Yunlin County in western Taiwan.
Since starting in 2010, pencil-lover Lee's intricate sculptures have grown to include the Great Wall of China and France's Eiffel Tower.
Lee's minuscule sculptures can be as small as 0.1mm long, and each take hours upon hours of work.
"Later I was inspired by Dalton Ghetti, so I changed my media to pencil and lead.
"Since then I have put a lot of time into it and have quickly become a master of this art form.
"Although I use normal pencils to make these carvings, the result is anything but ordinary.
"I find inspiration in the everyday objects around me.
"I try to give my best every time because I never know if there is a next time.
"So I will push my limits to create something beyond your imagination."
