There aren’t too many crafts that are worthy of being “dugg” to the front page of Digg.com, but funky to say the least, Jennifer Maestre, selling on etsy.com, and her pointy sculptures made from colored pencils sure did the 99% implausible trick!

A blogger on TypePad, Reuben Miller, did a feature and interview on the indie artisan, which was then voted for by Digg members. Those people are of the pickiest on web 2.0, and have opinions largely skewed to the male and techie, so of course this feat is made even greater by someone who not only isn’t a part of that world (when asked if Jen knew what Digg was, she replied “Who knows?” casually) but she doesn’t even run her own blog aimed toward the lofty goal.

Below are photos of the Digg feature photo, then one of my favorite items from JenMaestro’s shop, a melty/flattish colored pencil accessory.

P.S. Readers, don’t let me forget to buy one of those pendants when I make a little more income! Well worth true spending cash, if you have any, ha ha.

As a happy, loving member of Etsy, I still haven’t dived into the Storque enough yet. But as I start this website, I should follow everything handmade. What did catch my eye (and my “heart”) was an article about slightly more jaded Valentine’s products (being sold on the site of course).

Read the piece (well, mostly view the items) through this link.

And may I take a moment to ooh and ahh over this endlessly wire-wrapped heart? The wire it must have taken! LOL. And the work of course. Check out the seller’s shop here.
