The moment I saw this image on Pinterest, I decided to try and make my own painted wooden spoons. I used some wooden spoons (spatulas?) from a Kashmiri stall in Shilparamam. I'm no good at drawing/painting - I just tried to be as neat as I could.
And on the backs of two of the spoons, I made Spoon People! (Don't laugh!!)
Edited to add: I used acrylic paints on these - I don't know if they are safe for cooking.
Totally gorgeous. And if thats what you call the work of someone "no good at drawing/painting", i think you have some mighty high standards for yourself! Those intricate patters are lovely!
ReplyDeleteOmg I must show you a high-res version that you can zoom into - then you'll see all the smudges and mistakes :) I pretended I was drawing mehendi lol! Thank you so much!

Deleteexcellent
ReplyDeleteits really nice. just curious- what paint did you use? Is it safe to use for cooking?
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think so Anu - I used acrylic paints, and on other surfaces I've observed that it peels. I have them in a mug like a bouquet just like that - not for cooking :)
