Kathryn Hinton – Silverware Art

kathryn_hinton_exhausted_cutlery Kathryn Hinton’s silverware art isn’t entirely functional but speaks volumes with their various messages. Some of those messages end up stamped right in.

No greasy fingers, no dropped toppings and even better is that if you actually can eat it with knife and fork then it is a heck of a deep dish pizza.

And “It’s the Italian way”.
