The amazing Patty Szymkowicz is the guest designer at Awfully Big Art Adventure this week and she has chosen the theme "Altered Cutlery". Patty's altered cutlery is absolutely stunning so theres a lot to live up to !
Nothing ventured nothing gained... so I set about twisting a fork with a pair of pliers...the fork didn't budge...but the pliers twisted beautifully !
Then I tried making a hole in a spoon...which shot up in the air and landed in the sink...so not a good start ! Lol!
I finally decided to just go for embellishing an egg spoon while I was still in one piece !
I gold dabbered the spoon and heat embossed various colours of powder on the back and front of the bowl.
I then wired some beads...making a loop for the charm and threaded the wire back through the large bead to secure it. I wrapped the plain end of the wire around the base of the bowl and twisted the wired beads around the handle.
Finally I gold dabbered the mask and added it to the bowl with silicone glue.
This has got to be some of the most enjoyable crafting I have ever done...Thanks Patty ...and Thanks ABAA !

Glad you joined in.

OH RubyMay! Your spoon is enchanted looking, absolutely fabulous, I just Love everything about it! I would have never thought to emboss on the cutlery. I am inspired. Thank you for your kind words! I did not have much luck with the fork tine twisting either. My husband seems to have the touch. We have to ask Linda how she got her tines to cooperate!
Your altered spoon is lovely. I have only just discovered your blog via Maureen's and will certainly visit again. I have had a quick peek at your earlier posts and love your altered books - they are very inspirational.
Beautiful! I guess you'll have to make altered art out of the pliers now, LOL!
Oh brilliant fun idea Melissa...!
I'm going to go fish them back out the recycle bin...!
What a fantastic job RubyMay! LOL @ the pliers... I'm hunting for old, softer metal forks at the car booty this Sunday. ;o)
I love all the gold dabbering and your beading's excellent!! =)
