Jennifer Maestre is a self-taught artist, at least in her current medium of choice - pencil sculptures. She has also produced works in beads, nails and pins, but it was her works made entirely of sharpened pencils that first caught my attention and made me want to share her work here.
Her pencil sculptures are made by drilling holes in one inch long sections of pencils and sewing them together using a sculptural beading technique called “peyote stitch”. Take a walk through her site. I think you’ll find the work unique if not inspiring.
