Goldfish in a teacup: Self-taught 3D resin artist Suzi Chua shares her craft

Layers of resin and paint are needed to create a 3D effect.

Did you know that you can put fishes in teacups, saucers and bowls and go on long vacations? You don’t have to change water or feed your koi, goldfish or turtles. That’s because these pets are works of art. 

The fishes are made from resin and painted with acrylics; the crystal clear water is cured resin. Visitors who set eyes on Suzi Chua’s resin artworks can’t help asking: “Are the fishes real? Is the water real?”
