Rehabilitated Dishware by Sarah Cihat

Artist Sarah Cihat likes to take old dishes and give them a new life.

She buys second hand dishware at thrift stores and then gives them a fresh coat of paint and applies various designs to them. We think this is a great idea - why throw out old, "out of style" things that are still functional when you can give them a new look? People reupholster furniture, so why not dishes?

Get them here.

I really like the spider but I would hesitate to create something like that if I entertained a lot, I can just see someone casually picking up the plate and then noticing the spider only to drop my masterpiece on the floor. It's still cool though.

That spider plate is bitchin'!

I don't want to eat off plates that have bugs on them of any sort, especially not spiders.

Gives me the heebee jeebees just to think about it.
