Japanese artist Hirotoshi Ito turns stone into stone cold art. The dynamic pieces he creates are quite intriguing.  His meticuluous techniques would cause you to think he was working with soft, mendable putty, but he instead managed to do the unthinkable.The artist somehow makes stones that he found on a beach, look flexible and pliable. Take a look at his breathtaking pieces below, and be inspired to make art out of WHAT EVER it is that you draw inspiration from, no matter how illogical it may seem.
