Aren't these adorable?  They are the work of Japanese Stone Artist Akie Nakata.   Some are so detailed they look like the actual creature they are made to represent, like the bird, owl and frog.

An article on Daily Shared indicates Akie is a self-taught artist that loved picking up stones as a child and has been making these creations since 2011.

She sometimes sells her adorable creations through a posting on Facebook  and there are more pictures of her work on that page.

On July 13th-14th they blocked off Main Street in front of the Art Museum and sections were blocked off or area artists and groups to create their artistic vision in chalk on the pavement.   

My son and I participated in 2002 & 2003 and I enjoy seeing others creations.  Unfortunately, I was not able to make it down to check them out until today.  Although the street was open and it had been driven on all day, many creations still remainied,
