Pebble Portraits by Justin Bateman

You may recognize these pieces as some of the world's most famous works of art. But take a closer look: these renderings have been completely remade with pebbles and found stones by British artist Justin Bateman.

These reinterpretations include such classic artworks as da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and many more. They may not as look as good as the original, but they're definitely more rugged. Check out Justin's site and follow him on IG to learn more about his land art and to keep updated with his latest creations.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
