Chinese woman uses teeth to carve intricate sculptures, including Great Wall of China model
Nibbling artist with no formal sculpting training creates more than 100 works of art using vegetable; warns kids not to copy her
A Chinese woman has amassed over one million followers after she posted her amazing sculptures crafted with nothing but her teeth.
Chen Qin, 25, from central China’s Hubei province, attracted attention online after posting videos of her carrot sculptures.
The sculptures, from simple small animals and cartoon figures, to complicated, large replicas of the Great Wall, the Yellow Crane Tower and wearables like phoenix crowns and the silver hats worn by the Miao people, are all made with Chen’s teeth.
In several of her videos, Chen shows herself nibbling the carrots she uses little by little, proving to her audience that she did not use other tools.
Chen has referred to herself as “the first tooth sculptor of the whole internet”.
Her work is so exquisite that many joked that she has “hidden a 3D printer in her mouth”.
Chen said she is not a professional sculptor, but had received training on graphic design and 3D modelling in secondary school and college.
She also loved drawing since she was a child.
