AWFULLY BIG ART ADVENTURE - Altered cutlery

This week, Rosie and Linda challenged us to alter cutlery. I have taken a pretty Victorian grapefruit spoon, used alcohol ink on the silver and embellished it with a photo of Frida Kahlo and various beads, flowers and fibres.

For another 'shrine' challenge I was thinking Frida, now I MUST do something Friday, you've inspired me so!

Not sure why I typed "Friday" toward the end, caught myself on the first line, FRIDA must like Fridays ;)

Jan, this is a lovely tribute to Frida... and I'm sure she'd have been just as impressed as I am! =)

this is super Jan,

keep meaning to try a more 3-D project but keep putting it off. Just too many things to do, and not enough time in the day
