The Tiniest Train Ever Carved Out Of Pencil Lead By Cindy Chinn

What’s the smallest piece of art that you can create? Cindy Chinn can carve a tiny train out of pencil lead. The minuscule locomotive is set (glued) to pencil lead tracks, and the whole art piece can be displayed in a case with its own magnifying glass. The pencil is kept there, too, to remind you of the piece’s origins. You can order one on Etsy !

Chinn is an artist currently living in Nebraska, and her studio is a huge former school building. When not making tiny, tiny trains, she makes art with plasma cutters.
