The result is amazing the mix of colors with the crazy shapes is outstanding, Check it out!</h3> <!--break--><!--break--><p>Make sure to visit <a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/" title="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/">http://www.jennifermaestre.com/</a></p> <blockquote><p>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. The beading technique I rely on most is peyote stitch.</p> <p>I’m inspired by animals, plants, other art, Ernst Haeckel, Odilon Redon, mythology. In fact, it isn’t easy to specify particular sources of inspiration. Sometimes one sculpture will inspire the next, or maybe I’ll make a mistake, and that will send me off in a new direction.</p> <p>Find out more <strong><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/about.php" title="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/about.php">About the Sculptures</a></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Heat Wave</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_heat_wave_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Terpsichore</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_terpsichore_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Minx</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_minx_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Hive</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_hive_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Asteridae</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_asteridae_full.jpg" width="600" /></a></p> <h3>Aurora</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_aurora_full.jpg" width="600" /></a></p> <h3>Materialize</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_materialize_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Luna</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_luna_1_full.jpg" width="600" /></a></p> <h3>Seethe</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_seethe_full.jpg" width="600" /></a></p> <h3>Flex</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_flex_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Silkie</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_silkie_3_4_view_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Imp</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_imp_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Tiamat</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_tiamat2_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Owl</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_owl_full.jpg" /></a></p> <h3>Chimera</h3> <p class="imgC"><a href="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jennifermaestre.com/images/port/pencils/p_chimera_full.jpg" /></a></p> <div class="nodeauthor-info"><h2 class="title">About the author</h2><div class="content"><div class="desc"><p>Hi there!
