Spoons A to Z Challenge

A simple tool. So versatile. You don't need a fork if you have a spoon. 

They also works of art. These were my mothers.

 I use them in the kitchen every day. The patina!

Part of "building an artful life", my theme, involves using things
 that you find beautiful in your everyday tasks. That practice can bring you joy.

These little beauties I found years ago. Had to have them.

 They went on my Christmas list & I was rewarded. Apparently I was good that year. 

Pounded pewter. Plus lots of artistic detail. Use 'em every day. 

I admire the hand made spoons of others. 

The 2 above examples are from Instagram.

Shanna Leino made these. Ebonized walnut, wow.

Would love to take a class to learn to carve wooden spoons.

Of course a class would require special tools. More art supplies. Oh well. 

At a workshop a few years back one person made the comment "We aren't artists, we're collectors of fine art supplies". Funny, but very true.
