This past week I have been working on developing my geometric spoons in small metals. I have four more in brass which you can see below.These two have not yet been bent but I have looked at working with the surface of the metal. I have gone over the surface with sandpaper to create this scratchy appearance which I rather like. With this next one I have practiced making the folds sharp and angular. I have experimented with ways to change the shape of the handle with the placement of the folds.These spoons are also very interesting and fun to photograph as the shapes and angles create beautiful shadows which really emphasise the geometric 3D forms.This last spoon has been the most successful. I have added extra lines where there are not any folds. This really adds an extra dimension to the design.As my deadline is this Thursday I have decided to abandon my idea of wooden and plastic spoons so that I can focus on developing and finishing these designs in brass. I am really pleased with them!
How beautiful …. I love the bent ones … but I would buy the straight one.
Thank you 🙂
