Did you ever wonder how actors in tele-movies or even film are able to just go on talking while seated around a dining table full of delicious looking fruits and not eating them? It really makes you think how they are able to resist this yummy food in front of them. Well, the only reason why they can refrain from sampling these fruit goodies is because these are artificial fruits.
It has been quite some time now that creating artificial veggies and fruits, or any other food for that matter, has been rendered the status of art. The fineness of its execution gives this fruits and vegetables such a natural convincing look that calling it a country craft is no longer applicable.
Faux fruits and vegetables were first made with a material called terracotta. Later on artists started using various materials such as plaster of Paris, pvc, plastic, wax, etc. to craft true-to-life looking fake vegetables and fruits.
So far, as of the moment, the best choice is high-density or compressed foam. Using compressed foam in making artificial fruits, vegetables and other food items is making the end-product so realistic that before you know it, your hands will readily reach out to get hold of one to sample. Each strawberry or grape-bunch that is airbrushed looks so succulent and juicy, even the bees and insect will be fooled into gathering round the basket if you sprinkled some fruit scents on it.
Aside from making it look as close to what real fruit looks like, foam is the best material in most aspect; it is low-cost, lightweight, can be cleaned easily and more importantly, it lasts long.
Artificial handcrafted fruits can be used as great displays and adornments. People have been using them for a long time now to decorate their homes and gardens. Faux fruits and vegetables are also very common sights on the outdoors of hotels and restaurants. Artificial fruit baskets, wreath, fruit trays and creepers have long been used also as props or backgrounds for major motion picture sets or commercial photo shots.
Lately, these artificial fruits and veggies have become cool decorative items for those parties that are theme-based. A happy celebration for your child as a little fairy in an artificially arranged apple orchard or a nice birthday-bash celebration for your uncle who is crazy for wine in a vineyard will be a great idea.
