This is one of the best uses of silver flatware that we have seen if you are not actually going to use it as flatware. British artist, Ann Carrington, creates beautiful and realistic floral arrangements with spoons,forks and other silver. How many different types of flatware can you identify in the photos below?

Fabulous pieces - but wouldn't want to be the one to do the polishing!

The polishing challenge did come to mind for me too. Scott mentioned that there is probably some clear coating that might be applied.
