A beautiful landscape with a red traditional Japanese bridge is depicted on a tiny plastic bottle cap.
Generally, most plastic bottle caps are about 3 cm in diameter (just over an inch). But for Nishikura, who calls herself a "bottle cap artist," that's all the space she needs to create her works.
One can't help but admire her skill and dexterity in painting such intricate pictures on these tiny caps!
Her post elicited many comments, such as:
It just goes to sow that painters aren't limited to cloth canvases to express themselves. If there is something to paint on, almost anything is possible, even a bottle cap!
