I always like your spoon creations! I am curious though, how did you get into making spoon carvings?

Chris ~ I have notebooks full of ideas, thousands of doodles of things that would be cool to make (furniture, mirrors, sculpture, canes, pipes, bowls, etc., etc. But the problem became that it was impossible to focus. ‘What do I create next’ sort of thing, and before I could start, I would get excited about the ‘newer’ ideas that would come. And I spent literally years ‘paralyzed’ and didn’t make anything, bottle necked as it were. But a few months back I was looking at one of my favorite artist’s website, he carves extraordinarily beautiful spoons,( www.normsartorius.com ) and somehow I grasped the idea that focusing on such a specific ‘medium’ would help with the focus. And it did. I already have 2 notebooks full of spoon designs, and half of my spoons sort of just happen and aren’t designed at all. Long story short… is that I obviously require that self-imposed focus, being somewhat nonlinear. grin Ok, so you got more than you asked for. Now my turn… What does the Latin (?) translate as your signature line?? (Does ‘caput’ mean what I think it does?)

Very arty Spoontaneous and beautiful too.

-- Mike, American in Norway

These are really cool and very creative!

Great stuff! I like them all. Thanks for showing them.

Very creative designs great looking spoons.

Spoontaneous- Thank you for the thorough answer. I to, constantly lose focus because I get excited about what I want to build instead of what I am building. My signature actually says; “I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.” I like it because everyone thinks it says something beautiful and profound but actually it’s a funny threat! Makes me laugh and I need to laugh as much as I can!
