A case for pencils

A case for pencils

If Jennifer Maestre asks if she can borrow your pencil, you?re never going to see it again. Not unless you go to her website later and see her latest creations. Maestre cuts, drills, sharpens, and sews pencils together into sculpture, and also does some handy work with nails. Sporting what she describes as a ?fearsome texture?, her prickly artworks are inspired by the sharps spines of sea urchins. In coup for sea urchins concerned with self-preservation, M?stre?s sculpture was featured earlier this year in a series of sea-saving ads for Greenpeace. Crayola, you?re missing out.
