Food Artistry Plates

Boguslaw Sliwinski's Plates Encourage Food Play

— February 20, 2012 — Lifestyle
Boguslaw Sliwinski has created a series of ceramic plates that feature kid-inspired drawings of boats sailing across an ocean, trains trekking under the clouds and cranes waiting to lift their share. These transportation plates will release the inner kid in those who always wanted to play with their bland veggies or flick corn niblets at their desired targets, so forget about what your parents said about never playing with your food!

The white plates and simple black lines will allow one's imagination to run wild as they are free to construct their own masterpieces. Whether you're stacking peas and corn bits to load up your train car or deciding what to ship next, your next meal might just be the most wittiest and creative one you've ever had.

Boguslaw Sliwinski's transportation plates are a hybrid of art, creativity and food.
