Creativity and talent can lead to amazing things, and the works of British artist Jane Perkins provide a great example of this with her amazing recreations of famous paintings made with everyday objects.

Perkins uses beads, broken jewelry, key chains, pins, and buttons, among others, but doesn’t paint or modify objects in any way. Still, she manages to make her versions of Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss,” or Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” look surprisingly close to the original.

Objects found in Perkins’ works are sourced from all sorts of places. She visits flea markets and antique shops in search of objects that fit her vision, while her social media followers also pitch in by donating objects they no longer need.

“I am a ‘re-maker’, taking inspiration from found objects and working them into something new. I love art with an element of fun and the unexpected, and hope my work will make you smile!,” Perkins shares on her website.

Perkins creates all sorts of artworks with her unique method, including celebrity portraits and animal portraits, but her recreations of famous paintings remain the most impressive. You can check out more of them by scrolling below.
