Silver Spoons and Stripes by olivetreeann

Silver Spoons and Stripes

A collection of silver spoons that were handed down to my Dad from my grandmother (his mom). I polished them up today and instantly fell in love with the design.
Beautiful spoons, great capture. How nice to have such an special treasure.

ann, is that you? :-) you, or part of you, are reflected on the stems. i saw this on the dashboard and read "spoon" but i told myself "where's the spoon?" i had to open it to figure out. i'm a tad slow these days. hehehe! very well done, my friend. great textures and lines.

Makes a fabulous abstract. Most interesting design on the handles, they appear twisted.

Beautiful capture and angle. My father-in-law was a silversmith. It ran in the family and stopped with his generation.

Wonderful abstract, too me ages to see that it was spoon handles. Love how you've used the background pattern to contrast the spoon handle pattern.

@anazad511 Thank you Ana! I just love this kind of stuff!
@summerfield Thank you Vikki! Yes, I believe there is a little reflection of me on the center spoon- but it's rather twisted!
@mzzhope Thank you Hope!
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@salza Thank you Sally! It does have that appearance, even though it's more like ridges in the spoon.
@taffy Thank you Taffy! It's really pretty but I don't know what the name is. I'll have to try and do some research on line.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia!
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! They'd better be shiny, I just polished them!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! It's really just a matter of how you compose the shot. This one looked good in close-up.
@sangwann Thank you Dione! That's too bad that his craft did not continue in the next generation .
