A 49-year-old American artist Jen Maestre, made some strange species sculptures with hundreds of coloured pencils, which have been cut into one-inch sections and drills a hole in each one to create beads.

The colourful pieces range between 21 and five inches high and have been a big hit with customers who enjoy textural art.
