Spoon People

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.

  1. 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!

    1. Oh 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 :)
