French artist Stephanie Kilgast, 24, creates miniature food models that are 1:12th of their original scale.
Using scalpels, blades, art knives and toothpicks to mould her polymer clay creations, each one takes Stephanie up to three hours to create. Detailing the artwork using simple acrylic paints, Stephanie uses a magnifying glass to help her with the intricate design. Beginning her miniature food artwork in 2007, Stephanie estimates that she has produced up to 600 examples of cakes, pastries, meats and meals. Selling them online for up to £50, Stephanie sells her artwork to doll's house enthusiasts.
"I didn't begin this art with any specific aim," said Stephanie who lives in Senlis, In France, "I just wanted to explore the world of miniature art and it became food. It slowly became an addiction and since I didn't want to keep the things for myself I just started to sell it."
Stephanie started working on her miniature food as a way to release her boredom during her summer holiday from university. Stephanie has now started to turn her food art into amusing jewellery by adding clasps and hooks to make them earrings and brooches.
