photographs Mito Nishikura/Twitter,
from wood to leaves, but this is the first time we have seen an artist use bottle tops,
artist Mito Nishikura uses discarded plastic bottle caps as her preferred medium,
Osaka-based artist Mito Nishikura recycles the caps into miniature works of art,
Nishikura, a graduate of the Kyoto Saga University of Art, only started painting on plastic bottle caps in June of this year,
“I really want to know if you create your artworks with a magnifying glass, because it’s really hard to paint such details with only the naked eye,” one Twitter user commented on one of Mito Nishikura’s artworks,
the talented Japanese artist confirmed that she doesn’t use a magnifying glass when painting, and even a posted a small clip of herself working on a tiny masterpiece, on Twitter. She just holds the bottle cap in one hand, using two fingers, and painstakingly adds strokes of paint with a very fine paintbrush, each bottle cap can take up to 3 hours to paint, and what amazing results she achieves, you can see more of her work on Twitter and Instagram.
