Dear Siary, Spooning



How I made a spoon

For the past two weeks I have been working with a silversmith. His name is Howard Fenn and he has been perfecting his silver skills for fourty years. And yes, hes amazing.



This is part of his 400 hammer collection





Because im a greedy bitch I decided to design and make a pair of silver spoons to eat ice cream with as apposed to using my fists.

You start of with a piece of silver about wee big..



I then hammered. Hammered more. And a hammered even more so the silver grew like a sprouting child.
It eventually got cut in two and a spoonish form was starting to take.





I cheated. A little. [Thank you howard]


Then after a bit of filing and polishing my spoons were finished
taadaaaaaa!
