"Mind-Blowing": Internet Lauds Artist's Hyper-Realistic Fish Thali Made Out Of Wax
A Jhansi-based artist is going viral on social media and for all the right reasons. Her talent lies in creating hyper-realistic food-themed candles. Quirky culinary-inspired keychains and fridge magnets are not a thing of the past. But this creative woman is taking her craft a notch higher by making incredibly lifelike illustrations resembling popular Indian dishes. Among her versatile candle arts, one that has recently grabbed attention is a unique and delightful fish thali candle. In a video she posted on Instagram, the artist shows off the fantastically detailed fish thali.
The clip opens to the artist pouring wax on a non-edible fish kept inside a mould. Next, she drizzles yellow-coloured wax into two other moulds, which soon take the shapes of a pomfret and kingfish. Once dried, she scoops them out and coats the waxfish with a brown-shaded water colour so that they look roasted. After that, a sufficient amount of liquid wax is streamed into another bowl, and wax-made rice grains are added. Similarly, the skilled artist prepared shockingly true-to-life gravy and paper-thin chapatis/bhakris.

The artist makes super-realistic prawns in the same manner and paints them with a dark colour, giving the impression of a properly-cooked meal. Even the salad spread, comprising a lemon wedge, a slice of onion and a green chilli, is made entirely of wax. Can you believe it? To finish things off, the artist presents the delectable yet inedible thali in a traditional plate. We also spotted wax gulab jamuns on the plate.
