Jennifer Maestre is the artist who created the start of all pencil artwork she first started out just carving on pencil leads and no one knows why. In her interviews she says,One day I was just pacing up and down trying to find inspiration for some artwork then it hit me why make art out of pencils, its genius.Some artist say it takes thousands of pencils to make just one sculpture.Here are some pieces of art made from pencils.
