Recently I have been experimenting with collage and I have been making some 'spoons' incorporating my favourite vintage book papers and twigs. They are very much at the beginning stages but I have had so much fun creating these little spoons from repurposed card and papers.
Spoons have always been close to my heart. I have some treasured old spoons that were my mothers and I have lovely memories of spending time in the kitchen with her. I also have an old table spoon that was my grandmothers and I love that it is thinning on the edge from so much stirring.
For me, spoons are metaphors for nurturing, love, sharing and generosity.
I have included a photo of my experiments in spoon making thus far which you will see are unfinished but I thought you might like to see a progress shot. I am only at the beginning of this series of work so I am hoping to develop it further over the January holidays when I have a bit more time.
