Art on a Spoon.

Once again its time for Paint Party Friday. If you don't already know what it's all about click on the badge in the side-bar and take a look.

If you saw my post on Wednesday you will know that I have been doing a makeover on a little wooden spoon. This is how it looks now it is finished.




Since my last post I have added the belt and refined some of the detail in her hair.  I also added a little band of multi-coloured gold flakes to her dress and some fine glitter to the background around her head.

I am pleased how she turned out and was wondering how I would display her.  I thought that a set of them would look nice in a box frame but then you wouldn't be able to see the back. I also thought she would make a good book mark.

This is a small painting that I have just started.


I hope you will pop back again to see the end result.

Thanks for visiting. x

  2. I love the way the spoon is two sided but I see the problems in deciding how to frame her. Perhaps a little frame which is glass on both sides and freestanding.It is beautiful and I am very impressed with your ingenuity and creativity.

  6. Very pretty, maybe a hanging somewhere it can spin! Or a mobile of some sort!

  8. Funny, I was thinking the same as Giggles. Maybe you could do a few more of these spoons, and then put them together in a small vase or bowl ... It seems like a shame not being able to touch it... Your WIP is looking promising!

  9. I love your spoon. Personally I would mount it on a white sturdy paper and frame it. It will speak louder on it's own, and express some kind of ancient history I think. Beautiful!

  11. The spoon turned out great! I don't know how you'd exhibit it in order for both sides to show (a mobile, perhaps, using other spoons you have painted?)

  12. The canvas is off to a great start! The spoon, meanwhile, turned out great! It will be interesting to see what you come up with on the display front! :D

  14. Ooh, I do love that spoon Carol, it is simple & elegant. Beautiful work. How about using a box frame with a mirror in the back? But I also like the 'vase of flowers' idea too (but they would get dusty) I too am looking forward to seeing more of the wip :o) x
