Cindy Chinn lives in the Nebraska, US. A year ago, she was fascinated by the manufacture of microscopic sculptures made of wood. The material for her works are ordinary pencils. 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 work is simply amazing!
The last work of Cindy - "Elephants in the Serengeti" - depicts a family of elephants on the boardwalk." I did it in order, and the first one was going to make an elephant, - says the artist -. Then the work captures me, and I lost track of time." In this work she took several days.
The surface of the pencil under the feet of elephants specially treated so as to create the impression of grass, trampled under the feet of elephants. Behind the backs of elephants grow acacia. Note: light details of the composition of carved wood of the pencil, dark - from a graphite rod.
The finished composition is placed in a glass case, to which is attached a magnifying glass to be able to see the sculpture in the smallest details. Each elephant is carved from a single pencil. Only then the artist has brought together the figures. The most convenient way to work with flat carpenter's pencil. Before starting work on the pencil markings applied to a lattice. General outline of the artist carves using a magnifying glass with a five-fold increase, equipped with backlighting.
Cindy admits that sometimes she has to make the most tools are available too rough and can not provide the required accuracy of detail. At the end of Cindy figure handle, giving the skin the natural look of an elephant. Each pleat are drawn carefully. Most small finishing touches Cindy deals using trinocular - stereo microscope with 90-fold magnification.
