Artist Stephanie Kilgast, who also goes by Petit Plat, loves her fruits and veggies. In fact, she loves them so much that she challenged herself to make a tiny model of one fruit, vegetable, or root every day for a year. She catalogues these creations on Tumblr.
Everyone can appreciate a great piece of art and a healthy snack. Combine the two, and you’re in for a real treat.
By July 19 of this year, Kilgast had created 200 tiny foods. Here’s a shot of the whole gang!
Each sculpture is crafted from polymer clay, and Kilgast painstakingly molds every detail to make her creations look as realistic as possible.
She achieved the look of textured lemon peels by rubbing the clay on sandpaper. Now that’s dedication!
If these little peppers weren’t hanging out with grains of rice, you might mistake them for the real thing!
You might not be able to think of 200 different types of fruits and vegetables off the top of your head, but that was all part of the challenge for Kilgast.
On her Tumblr, she not only showcases the snacks, but also labels and describes them to inspire viewers to try something new. This collection is both artistic and educational!
