I picked up this silver spoon last summer at the antiques mall and it has been sitting waiting to be altered. This is my first attempt so I opted to try and keep it simple. I love the grapes at the top of the spoon because they give a beautiful detail. I used silver wire and wrapped it around the handle of the spoon adding pearl beads and little antique buttons. The whimsical image is from Paper Whimsy and I added sparkle and the word “Muse” from old book text. Altering spoons may be a new addiction! :)
Your altered spoon is stunning! I love it! I've always wanted to try this, too. Beautiful!!!!
Your spoon is wonderful, Nancy!
Wow your apoon is gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous, Nancy! I've never seen this done before–what a fabulous idea!
Thanks for visiting me & for your kind comments!
Wow – this altered spoon looks fantastic, Nancy! Well done!
What a creative idea! Although why am I surprised? you are a very creative person! Nancy, no my cabin is right along the AuSable River, not far from Hale, MI. Where are you? I agree, I love the UP but too far of a drive. The Au Sable is the next best thing!
Nancy, this is just stunning!!!!Fantastic!
Have a great day!

Gorgeous Nancy, In one of my online groups we just did altered spoon pendants, they were incredible also! I have my Gothic arch done.I will post tomorrow!
It's certainly beautiful and brilliant for a first attempt!
I've seen this done only once before but it was not as delightful as yours.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous !!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. Looks a million dollars as the saying goes. Who'd have thought a spoon could look so glamorous.

Your altered spoon is beautiful Nancy! I agree with you about the grapes on the stem…wonderful detail that just adds to the overall charm of your spoon!
