A British Columbia artist used spices to paint a butterfly measuring 908.39 square feet – it’s a world record. Preethi Vijay of Surrey used turmeric, paprika and clove in her painting, which Guinness World Records confirmed to be the world’s largest spice painting. Vijay, a former software engineer, is a self-taught artist who now sells her works on social media. The artist said she became interested in working with natural materials. “I love to work with coffee,” Vijay said. “Then I suddenly had this idea to work with spices like turmeric, paprika — vibrant colors.” The giant cloth for the record-breaking spice painting was sourced from her hometown of Chennai, India, and her paint was made from a mixture of 11 pounds of spices.
