ART - Sculptures Made With Pencils

Fancy decorating your home with something a little unusual? Jennifer Maestre's pencil sculptures definitely fit the bill. Inspired by sea urchins she's created something quite beautiful out of one of the most mundane of objects. I'm not sure it would work in the home, but for public buildings or workspaces it could be a real talking point. See some examples below...






So how does she do it? Jennifer explains... "To make the pencil sculptures, I take hundreds of pencils, cut them into 1-inch sections, drill a hole in each section (to turn them into beads), sharpen them all and sew them together." It definitely takes some patience and skill to get to the finished result.Which is your favourite?
