I guess it is officially "Make Art From Alternative Materials Week" here at House Inside Out. I went to a little community arty meet up Saturday morning and along with 6 or 7 other artists, made some cool spoon pendants. The group was hosted by local artist Michaela Eaves who got the idea from
Busily Spinning Momma and it was a great success! (Of course I left my camera at home so all you see is the after photo, but the tutorial is good.)
We all brought a random assortment of spoons. Turns out these thinner, silver plated ones that I brought worked great for flattening with a hammer. The we cut off the handles, filed and shaped the bail, glued cut out paper to the spoon and then embellished with paint and shellac.
It was a lot of fun to make something fun with other artists around! I am looking forward to more of these meet ups! I am suggesting coffee filter flowers for a project.
They look great! Sorry I missed it. I want in on the next get together.
