Japanese Artist Turns Stones Into Cute Animals You Can Hold In The Palm Of Your Hand

A Japanese artist who goes by the name of Stone Artist Akie is a name you should remember. 

She makes beautiful art out of small stones: "To me, stones are not simple materials or canvases for painting pictures on. Among all those numerous stones on a river bank, one stone, looking like an animal, catches my eye. When I find a stone, I feel that stone has found me too. Stones have their own intentions, and I consider my encounters with them as cues they give me it's OK to go ahead and paint what I see on them', she told ArtFido. 

Let's take a look at some of her incredible work. We had some hard time picking our favorite.
