Spoon Carving #1: Creative Thinking

Debbie ~ That is totally awesome!! I had actually drawn a similar spoon as the lightning spoon (with a gray cloud bowl).... but the Frogleg spoon is really great, and the others as well. I have literally hundreds of such pages with spoon doodles and ideas that pop up. Really happy to see you are enjoying the process.

yah, – creative thinking, I am good at. Follow-through, not so much :D

That’s what I was thinking re: lightning – the grey cloud for the bowl.

Edward Scissorspoons would be cool as well.

Debbie, It looks like you’re starting to think like the illustrious Spoons. Run away Debbie. Run away, there’s still time!!

Seriously though, I’m thinking about a claddagh design at the top, Celtic knots in the handle and a heart shaped bowl. Nothing too unusual there, I know, but I’m almost house-trained now, so
the wildness is (semi-) under control.
If it works it’s for the Wife and if not it will be offered back up to The Lord in the form of smoke.
Looks really good in my head.

Murch ~ I’m kind of embarrassed but I had to look up ‘claddagh’ on Google. No wonder my wife beats me in scrabble (and English is her 3rd language).

Your spoon sounds like it is really going to be cool. You’re braver than me though with all of those ‘knots’ in the middle. There is this Chinese saying, “Heart ties heart with a thousand knots” that I heard several years ago. I think it would make a great spoon but I am years from trying that one.

Have you decided on your wood?

Murch – I think your plan is very clever (keep it pleasing for the Mrs.)

and thanks for the compliment re: thinking like Spoons :D

Yeah Spoons, whatever I trip over or root out of the fire pile. Same as usual.
