These miniature food sculptures made from polymer clay are amazing! They are so detailed and so realistic—and they look good enough to eat!
The beautiful tiny creations are made by polymer clay miniature artist Yulia Bukharova, who posts short videos—like this one—of the mini foods she makes—which include broccoli, potatoes, cauliflower, bell peppers, avocados, sushi, and oh-so-much more—on her Instagram.
She is also, as she describes, the "founder of the world's first vegetable modeling school." She currently offers a variety of online courses, each focusing on different kinds of foods, including cupcakes, vegetables, breads, coconuts, mushrooms, grapes, and apples.
She describes her passion for miniature sculptures on her website:
With no prior experience in art or sculpture, I taught myself through experimentation and perseverance. My dedication paid off as I developed unique techniques for creating realistic-looking vegetables, such as using pastel to give potatoes a natural appearance. . .
My work is not just a job; it is a source of inspiration and joy that I am excited to share with others. As my children grow older and attend school, I look forward to dedicating more time to this beloved craft and continuing to inspire others through my courses.
