Remember Lorraine Loots and the Very Young Eyes? Well, we weren’t the only ones charmed by her beautiful diminutive works. Her adorable mini-painting-every-day project has inspired another very talented artist to do her own 365-day tiny painting project, with similarly darling results.
Moscow-based scientific illustrator Elena Limkina is enjoying stepping outside her usual technical drawings to explore her softer side. Her tiny watercolors and pencil drawings are really lovely, and while she was inspired by Lorraine Loots, her work definitely has its own voice. Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison, then the rest are all Limkina’s works!

How absolutely precious these are! That little bottle of Chanel completely captivates me. Donna, you are the font of so many beautiful things. Thank you!

That’s very sweet of you, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight you for the Chanel bottle. . .

Do you know that was the very first gift my husband ever gave me…a small bottle of Chanel No. 5 for the Christmas of 1973! I think it should be mine for that reason alone.
